which part did you found particularly problematic or was it a general unease?
am agnostic so have dissected the message ...
<<trade war with China won't solve our economic problems>> ... if there are economic problems, then could be; but I understood from deep-state kibitzers that all is well.
<<Instead we need homegrown solutions: affordable health care, better schools, modernized infrastructure, higher minimum wages and a crackdown on corporate greed>> ... am unsure whether he reckons affordable, better, modernised, higher are automatically good, but yes, if, a big if, one can have all that sustainably, certainly good to somebody.
... as to <<crackdown>> am guessing he is not proposing the somewhat granularly different means adopted in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Brazil and China, with varying result, and unsure where he stands on MF Global and vaporisation of money even as the money left a clear trail.
... <<In the process, we would also learn that we have far more to gain through cooperation with China rather than reckless and unfair provocation.>> ... could be right, might be wrong, depends on a lot of other matters.
