When an entire nation's core competency is harnessing and retaining its slave labor, managing to keep the vast majority of the population so dirt poor to work in purely appalling conditions, while giving the rest of the world elites such deals that they shut their pie holes to the human misery that makes their goods, well sir, that's just hard to compete with.

It's not only hard to compete with, I believe that it is just wrong to trade with China. I think we should stop all trade with China: we are making a bellicose, totalitarian state wealthy, and this does not bode well for us or our posterity.
