The proposed deal to ensure protections for intellectual property is inherently flawed.

"If this holds up, then tech stocks that depend on China will take off."

The reason it's flawed is that if a nation or a company in that nation makes a mistake, e.g., failure to pay royalties on devices that use intellectual property of another company, it doesn't like to be reprimanded in public. These proposed so-called deals are designed to show certain public groups that the administration is tough on crime of any sort. As long as the "deals" are made public and the patent violators are criticized publicly, they will resist and claim they did nothing wrong. This makes it more difficult to accomplish the main objective, i.e., paying royalties for the use of intellectual property.

It would help if those who propose policies and enter into negotiations to achieve those policies had some experience handling the issues, instead of just pandering to certain groups interested in how tough you look.
