"Your analogy breaks down when comparing trade with a supermarket to that of a communist country like China. "

The analogy also fails to account for - where does the guy get the money to pay the supermarket when his job is now being done in China. Want fries with that, is a limited option.

Don't forget, if order for job sent out of country, then money to pay sent out of country. So when worker pay taxes, that money now out of country in hands of foreign tax office. So for local government, more money to pay for more unemployement raised from fewer peoples who still pay higher taxes.
