Economic isolationism means much more than just China. If we restrict imports from everyone, thats isolationism.
If we restrict them from China, thats a sure method of engagement that will work for sure. Nothing should be off the table, including blocking imports from China.
Any idiot that uses that term 'isolationism' to try and pigeonhole everyone doesn't deserve to be listened to.
True. I don't remember any of the tariff-free traders/labor-supply siders claiming we were isolationist by not trading with Iraq or Cuba.
