They will be made in Ardmore OK.

Exactly. The (communist) Chinese merely had to steal and/or copy existing technology, use a slave labor force (at the point of a gun) to build their automotive copies, and now they will be welcomed to the worlds' largest,most legitimate marketplace. All with no hard feelings,apparently.
I think I am missing something here.

I agree that China can build cars cheaper with slave labor. It would seem a good and inexpensive U. S. policy (cheaper than a war)would be to encourage democracies by a policy of freer trade with Countries that are democratic. China would not rate high and therefore, would not get as many trade benefits. We also need to use the same thinking and democracy incentives by having a UN replacement organization that only includes democratic countries.
