That's not all. The US government exists to look out for the interests of wealthy americans.
Every dollar spent on a different nation is a dollar that could've been spent on them, in their eyes.
American business owners know that China is competitive because they can provide better products at cheaper prices. Americans would need to invest in making their products better or lower prices to compete with China. Both result in lower profits for owners.
This is why we will never stop seeing FUD against products that offer us a better deal than those looking to exploit us further. It's more profitable to convince useful idiots to "buy american" than it is to actually sell them products worth buying at competitive prices.
This comment is suspicious to me. It’s been companies like Apple that have pioneered using Chinese labor to increase their profits. Moving jobs to the USA won’t help make them any richer. It makes economic sense but not strategic sense
I don't think it makes economic sense. Bringing production back here creates jobs, but we have low unemployment so we don't really need more manufacturing jobs here.
It makes sense for national security though.
