Wow you are really aren’t trying are you? Free trade tears down the social order so communists can take over. Once the Commies take over then free trade ends, their goal achieved.
We've had free trade for the past 80 years, with US tariffs being systematically lower than comparable industrialized nations and the republic still stands. American companies continue to be at the forefront of innovation and quality, to the point that they occupy the topmost ranks of the most profitable companies in the world. KFC, not some Chinese company, is the largest restaurant chain in China. Bottom line is that these protectionist talking points don't hold much water. To be competitive, a company not only has to come up with new things, it's got to hold the line on costs so that it can survive periods when its products are not up to snuff relative to the competition's. This is why all American companies have moved assembly work overseas, whether it's China, India or some other country. Because the competition, whether in Europe or Japan (and Korea), has done the same.
Detroit's Big 3 have kept assembly work stateside, and the result of the UAW's obscene pay scales and work rules is systematically lower reliability ratings than their Japanese counterparts. Because the cost difference has to be paid for, and Detroit has done that by chintzing out on parts specifications, such that the original parts on Japanese cars are still going strong even after their American equivalents have had a second generation of replacement parts bolted on (after the original and the first generation of replacement parts were replaced).
