The president’s move to protect strategic manufacturing sectors from low-cost competition aims to increase jobs, but consumers might not like the costs.
Edit: okay, I actually hate those shitty one word comments. Shouldn’t have done it.
Good, because their poor standards of worker conditions and undercutting living wages elsewhere needs to be stopped. Good because, as much as I hate the idea of infinite patents or design trademarks, shitty counterfeits are a bigger problem. Good, because it was their undercutting of costs that led to horrible environmental impact even compared to other industrial nations.
And, it ended up with all of that destabilizing world affairs. Now, whether or not that’s good is a matter of opinion, but it isn’t something that will end well if left unchecked. There definitely needs to be a counterbalance to western hegemony, but China is not the answer to that problem imo. They just aren’t willing to be good neighbors to their actual neighbors (unlike Canada, who are giving awesome neighbors) unless they capitulate. It would just be replacing the bad parts of western domination with different bad parts, less good parts, and more extreme versions of some of the bad parts.
China, much like many countries, is ready for the next revolution.
Good.
