Of course we do. The North American offerings are comically inferior while costing a small ransom.

We should stop propping up these companies that can't exist without protectionism and corporate welfare handouts.

Massive bailouts on the taxpayer dime in 2008'ish didn't do anything to improve the situation.

China does devalue their dollar to prop up their production. Though we arguably do the same by buying mortgage bonds and discounting home values in the CPI to keep our money loose.
