If the Chinese product is a better value than the American made one, I will buy the Chinese one every time.
If your thinking prevailed, we'd still have the big 3 to chose from for automobiles. They'd still be crappy, poorly made junk because "our" companies would still be cozy with the UAW and would have never had any incentive to produce a decent vehicle that could compete on the open market.
The goal is to make America MORE competitive, not limit consumer choices in any effort to desperately hold back modernization and encourage bloated, inefficient labor unions to reign forever.
Soon we will not have a big 3 to choose from.
We will have Cherry knockoffs of GM cars.
