RE: We’re not charging tariffs equal to the tax and regulatory burden on domestic employers.

So, NOT Taxing something is equivalent to subsidizing it?

When American goods are subject to extra taxes in China simply because they're American products, whereas Chinese products are not subject to the same, reciprocal taxes here in the U.S. -- I'd say that's subsidizing Chinese products.

What would you call it?

Yes, they should be taxed equally. If you tax domestic producers more than you tax foreign producers, you are effectively subsidizing foreign producers.

It's a subsidy because foreign producers aren't paying their fair share of supporting the government which protects the American market and enforces the rules of the American market.
