China Disad

 * A. There is a window of opportunity to build U.S. Sino cooperation and consultation on public health issues in Africa. By jumping out in front of any consensus building, the plan crushes current collaboration and creates a U.S. Sino conflict.**
 * Gill,** ** Freeman Chair in China Studies at the CSIS, 2K7** ** (Bates, “China’s Expanding Role in Africa: Implications for the United States,” A Report of the CSIS Delegation to China on China-Africa-U.S. Relations, January, **[|**http://www.csis.org/media/csis/pubs/chinainafrica.pdf**]** ) **

The United States Congress and the President should sign legislation enacting a “buyout” and elimination of agricultural production subsides, quotas, and tariffs found in the 2002 Farm Security and Rural Investment Act or any future “farm bills”.**
 * And, We solve the case. It massively increases global income and soft power. It also prevents the collapse of global trade which is critical to alleviating global poverty.**
 * Prestowitz, President of the Economic Strategy Institute and former trade negotiator for Reagan, 9-19-2K3 (Clyde, “Bold Action Can Still Save Doha Round,” Yale Global, **[|**http://yaleglobal.yale.edu/display.article?id=2472**]** ) **

Guilt K
A century ago…in the world. With a remarkable talent… longer responsible.68

 * B. The sense of guilt they create absolves us of the need to take any real action – Turns the case**
 * Bruckner,** ** Philospher, author, & Master Lecturer at the Institut d’Études Politiques de Paris, 86**** (Pascal, //Tears of the White Man: Compassion as Contempt//) **
