One thing that China has in abundance is cheap labor. This is a fact that cannot be changed by any amount of tariffs or quotas. Consumers in America, and in other countries will demand low cost goods, all other things being equal. America should compete in those areas where it has an advantage.

Wrong again, this is exactly what tariffs can change. If China gains a 30% advantange using low cost slave labor then a 30% tariff eliminates that advantage! It effectively raises the cost of Chinesse labor! Pretty cool huh?
