You are making it unnecessarily complicated.

1. Learn to read metaphors/similes please. What he means is that you if you were to trade with China, then what happens within its borders would affect you/your government/your country. The same way your father-in-law beating his daughter/your wife would affect you.
2. If you say you'd gladly trade with them, you're contradicting what you said earlier: "one should be careful about who to wed" which in the context of this conversation means "one should be careful about who to trade with" and that implies you'd be weary about trading with China, but then you say you'd gladly do it. Which is it?
