One aspect free trade is equal tarrifs.

Your definition of "unfree" trade is Chinese people working their butts off so that I can have 4 TVs and 3 DVD Players while they can't afford any. The Chinese are killing themselves trying to raise my standard of living. This is terrible! It must be stopped!

Twenty years ago it was the Japanese that all of the "protectionists" used to justify their attempts to limit MY freedom. There will always be someone willing to work hard and people who aren't willing to work hard will resent them and attempt to curtail MY freedom to deal with them.

Excuse me, how your standard living rise when you unemployed? As for trade, yes, no safety guarentee, no vacation/pregnancy leave or any such...massive uneducated starving work force...sure easy, specially when all imports banned...you not bother to mention that little part in counter argument...tarrifs make problem breaking into Japanese market look small. China not import from anyone products, except hi military Russian tech it can't copy or Russian oil. All else it bans.
