This article sums it up very well, and exposes the unmentioned real purpose of this agreement:
to ensure corporate profits supersede the will of a state's citizens.

Not one politician has dared argue these provisions of the agreement in a public forum. The news media never question the implications of surrendering sovereignty to corporate profits.

Remember when you used to yell "You stink!" to your childhood 'enemies'?

The difference between the US and China
This article shows that exactly the same sort of people are running both the US and China.

It's interesting that the masses still think that the terms communism and democracy still mean something to those in power. It's striking how similar is the behaviour of the powerful in both countries.

Canada is now much the same.
Despite these wars on drugs, terrorism, immigration and wealth, the governments involved continue to say they are necessary. But wait, doesn't that mean that these policies have been a failure wrt their original stated intent? What do you do with someone who cannot accomplish what they set out to do? You fire them, or at least admit that what you wanted done cannot be accomplished by that method.
