You cannot just close your doors, shut your eyes and believe that you are protected from competition.

That's what you have done.

You refuse to acknowledge, and face the reality, that Airbus is not "competition" but a French-scheme, a governmentally financed attack on a core U.S. industrial advantage. EADS literally stole the technology for its subsidiary Airbus, with its U.S. espionage...and then the French government got huge never-pay-back "loans" for the Airbus production, and leveraged their governmental scheme by enlisting German and British collusion in it with co-production bribes.

China will have trouble keeping intact their manufacturing industry edge after other lower cost countries in Asia builds their manufacturing base.

There are no such things as lower-costs than China. China's costs are politically-dictated. And they have 1.5 billion slaves to enact those edicts.

The best way to preserve independence is to allow open competition. Thats the American way and that way alone will ensure success.

False. The American Way...is the American System which built us into the Superpower...that the traders are pissing away as fast as they can.

“That’s what you have done.”

No I am not scared of competition. I am prepared for them, let them come in whatever form. I don't need to cut and run to my nanny “state” and ask for protection against competition. What I meant was government protection isn't REALLY going to protect you from competition.

“You refuse to acknowledge, and face the reality, that Airbus is not “competition” but a French-scheme, a governmentally financed attack on a core U.S. industrial advantage”

Every competition is actually a scheme, depending on from which side you are looking at it. If the French has a scheme I am sure even Boeing has one. And I am sure Boeing has similar schemes against its other competitors in collusion with other governments. Even US companies are know for bending rules or sometime even foul play. I dont need to take a partisan attitude towards any company. I have no stake in their battle. Let them compete for all I care.

“There are no such things as lower-costs than China.”

As a matter of fact there is. Indo-China, Malaysia, Indonesia, South asia, have far lower labour cost then China. Only reason why China is preferred is because of their industrial infrastructure, their speedy bureaucratic system (less red tape) when it comes to foreign investment, and their Most Favoured Nation status accorded by the US, is what makes them attractive. While Chinese government is more efficient, other countries are building their infrastructure to make themselves attractive. China still attracts more because of their sheer size. China uses their bargaining leverage to have companies move part of their production units to China in return for access to the worlds largest consumer market. India will have similar strength soon.

BTW I don't subscribe to your conspiracy theories that foreign governments are colluding against the US.

“The American Way...is the American System which built us into the Superpower....”

And what system is that?
