Yes it would. It would make our product more expensive than the competition, reduce, or eliminate our sales, and cost me my job.

Building our widget in China reduces the cost to Americans to buy our product, while raising the economic status of China, that will eventually lead to their workers becoming as expensive as ours, and production will return here. In the end, everybody wins. We get stuff for less (a form of wealth in itself). The Chinese become wealthier and more dependent on trade with us and makes them less likely to go to war against us.

Capitalism is a good thing, even across borders. Read some Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams on this issue. They're brighter than both of us put together about this.
