Vote LEAVE to Retain Human and Workers' Rights.
Vote LEAVE to be able to freely trade with whom we want.
Vote LEAVE to get back and retain control of our immigration.
Vote LEAVE to make our own decisions, laws and legislation.
I said before on here you don't need a trade agreement to trade with countries and someone said that was wrong. OK if that's true, we don't have a trade agreement with China at the moment so why when you go into a shop and buy something it says 'Made In China' on it.

We do have a trade agreement with China - the 1985 EU-China Trade and Cooperation Agreement; since 2007, we (the EU) have been trying to re-negotiate it (these things take time...); At WTO level, the EU and China are part of the revision of the Information Technology Agreement (ITA) and both parties are currently engaged in the plurilateral negotiations on an Environmental Goods Agreement (EGA). Last but not least, both sides have launched negotiations for an EU-China Bilateral Investment Agreement (BIA). And there are some external factors that might have an important impact, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
