There is no competition with China they use slave labor and are engaging in genocide. Anything short of a complete economic decoupling is a violation of human rights. They are also a bad actor in most other facets, currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, strategic subsidies to destroy US corporations. Stop listening to Janet Yellen, she has never worked against slave labor before, and clearly neither have you.
It is now time to raise tariffs higher on China and move towards a complete decoupling of the economies, this is what happens when we have a president do a trade deal with communists. China has been engaged in economic warfare against the US since 1999 when Bill Clinton signed into law PNTR with China and sent congresses duty and right to negotiate and manage trade deals to the WTO. The WTO does not have the interest of US citizens at heart.
Those claiming tariffs hurt consumers are simply incorrect. If democrats enjoy playing the long game like they claim to and not going for short term fixes they should realize that every time they buy a product from China they are essentially taking a loan out against their own future. At some point the deficit and the trade deficits have to be paid down. Sending money to China is essentially a down payment on a long term loan against US economic security in the future. A few too many people who claim to be educated read the globalization economics section in US college texts books I suppose.
