so their clearly is a competitive advantage and ability the chinese have.

It's all irrelevant when considering strategic value. It wouldn't matter if they could make the stuff for 1/100th the price.

But it's currently impossible to make most things in the usa... the companies can't compete with other companies that have manufacturing and distribution in China.

Tariffs are an easy way to fix that.

The clear move is to allow china to set up manufacturing in America and then have people work in those factories.

Ha ha ha. Were you born jewish or something? Chinese owning strategic infrastructure in the United States? How about letting Iran own Israeli factories?

you think in the most idiotic way.. chinese corporations set up manufacturing in africa, vietnam, hk, taiwan... wherever.. so that bypasses that.. And they will buy up our manufacturing companies in america if the tariff is that high for that industry. Tarrifs are a band aid.. Germany sends most of it's people into trade schools. So they are great at... manufacturing, and high end labour. It's how a country can compete globally.

The company can't survive.. and the government can't afford to operate something at a loss like that.

strategic infrastructure is like .0001% of manufacturing. They are better at manufacturing, let them open up factories in america... do you know how many non-chinese people open up manufacturing and businesses in China... A LOT.. you really are a dolt.

Yes, why not? An iranian citizen setting up in israel? if its beneficial then sure. If it's confidencial type work, then no. But nearly no work is that.. we are talking about business! what makes the world tick!

I'm not talking about tariffs on China, I'm talking about tariffs on strategic products from ANYWHERE.

Any company can survive any price if someone's buying.

So because China is stupid, we should be too. Yay. Everybody be stupid.
