My economics education tells me that barriers to trade are bad. My economics education is only overruled when it comes to national security, like weapons systems. Manufacturing capacity in general is not something I care about and want to see protected.

Much of most people's economics education is simply wrong. However, barriers to trade can be bad. That is why we should punish China for the barriers the put on our exports.

The requirement that our companies MUST set up manufacturing in their country AND employ high ranking Chinese officials as senior executives and engineers or not sell their product in their country.

Requirements that we ‘share’ our technology in order to expand our production in their country. That sort of stuff.

China has had Carte Blanche with our technology and good humor, as well as our wide open market for far too long. It is high time they are reigned in.
