At its core and in its essense, trade is capitalistic. Just food for thought.
Trade which builds up our enemies and diminishes our ability to wage war hurts our country and the world as a whole. Trade with free nations is a positive influence at home and abroad.
Define our enemy. Are the people of Hong Kong or Tiawan (the people who are pressuring mainland China to liberalize internaly) our enemies? Is India, Chile, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Japan, South Africa, etc. our enemy? Oh, I know...it's those filthy Arabs at the U.A.E. That wanted to buy an ownership stake in U.S. ports operations that are the enemy. Probably some of the most tolerant business people in the world where Christians, Muslims, and Jews routinely engage in commerce with one another without violent incident and where they all benefit from the exchange of goods and saervices. Yep, that free trade sure is some scary stuff
