This is, if you ask me, pretty close to economic warfare.

It's not "pretty close", it IS economic warfare! And it's been going on since the end of WW2, first with Japan. Then South Korea, Taiwan, and finally China. And they're winning.

Yep... You're right.

Like many wars lately, we don't even seem to be fighting.

The danger here is that we could ramp up production, and then Red China could flood the market and drive the prices below our cost of production. And then we'd have folks here screaming about overpaid American welfare miners who cannot compete. The folks who supported the bailouts for the moneychangers of Manhattan, and supported shipping Magnequench to Communist China.
