Are you excusing free trade with unfree markets, never mind enemy countries?I am "excusing" free trade with unfree markets. I am concerned with American consumers looking for the best price. All economics must be looked at from the point of view of the individual consumer.
As for the enemy thing, let the government declare a country as the "enemy" with all that entails [Cuba is a good example] and I'm cool with it.

But wealth has to be produced before it can be traded or stolen. Without production, there is nothing to steal. Production not theft is the motor of human history. Man did not rise from the cave to the skyscraper by stealing his neighbors roots and berries. The buildings, cars, and computers were not there to be stolenthey had to be thought of, invented, produced.Inside the Chinese Boom in Corporate Espionage
"China did not invent intellectual property theft; its just doing it on an unprecedented scale."
I guess as long as Deng's version of Lenin's New Economic Policy (NEP) doesn't steal our roots and berries it okay that Red China is stealing everything else on an unprecedented scale.
(I skimmed the posted article -- I hope the author did not ignore Red China's crimes and blame it all on us.)

So youre not concerned with the security of the country. And you are blind to the existence of enemies. The USA did not lose all its enemies in 1945, you know. Unfree markets attack free markets like ours when they trade with us; its an old form of warfare.
More Americans are concerned with being able to find a job than for the best (which doesnt always mean lowest in terms of bottom-dollar) price. There is a reason why the consumer economy is down.

No, its not hilarious. Nobodys denying the overregulation and overtaxation; the awareness that the USA has the highest corporate tax rate on the planet is quite high on FR. Pile on top of that trading with an enemy who is classified as a non-market economy by the WTO and there is more than merely cause to whine as you dismissively describe it. Imagine if we were trading with the USSR all the way through the Cold War?

international trade is essentials.
would make no sense to build worthless widgets in this country
the problem is that this government has the highest corporate tax rates on Earth and is hostile to investment... what did they think would happen?

Exactly. Putting America first is individualist; the globalist outlook promulgated by the author is what is collectivist.

Did our tax policy drive our own corporations to open in the Soviet Union?

Read it again. It says “all the essentials of national supply”, to include “the means of subsistence, habitation, clothing, and defenseto be possessed within ourselves. “All the essentials” does not mean the mere basics; it does indeed mean everything. And we don’t even have “the really vital stuff” anymore.

If you want national self-reliance, North Korea has been doing that for a while called “Juche”.
I think its a bad idea.

And we dont even have the really vital stuff anymore. I did read a comment somewhere, about how people were bitching about "how the U.S. Olympic uniforms were made in China." The response was, whose jet did the Chinese team fly to get to London?

Are you trying to say something?
The Muslims are not the only ones that know how to practice taqiyyah, you know. Mao really put one over on Nixon by making it look like there was a rift between Red China and the USSR. Teng Hsiao-ping made the bait juicier with his alleged economic liberalization programs. Asymmetrical warfare that totally fooled the naïve libs in DC.

You fell for that one too, eh? No, North Korea is propped up by Beijing.
Putting America first is not autarky, which has not been totally achievable by any single nation anyhow.

You’re talking like a liberal. You aren’t one to accuse others of talking nonsense.

Free trade does not exist in a vacuum, you know.Free trade has never existed. Ever. It does not know nor has it ever since the first government/king/lord etc came to power.
