China destroyed the U.S. electronics industry

The USA Has no electronics industry therefore the USA is not even a country anymore much less the world economic power or a country able to fight war. So “free traders” want more of this , to destroy what is left if any other industry in the USA.

Hyperbole much?

"Computer and electronic product manufacturing shipments totaled $339.4 billion in 2012 and accounted for 5.9 percent of total U.S. manufacturing shipments. Shipments of semiconductor and related devices, such as integrated circuits, memory chips, microprocessors, diodes, transistors, solar cells and other optoelectronic devices, totaled $72.2 billion or one-fifth of industry output that year."

And an unsubstantiated line from an article on INC.com is not exactly a reliable source for such an incredulous claim.

Well, lucky for us ‘cause if there’s a war with Iran - - and China and North Korea side with Iran - we won’t need access to any electronics...
