You will trigger a trade war, not a shooting war. Everyone will lose in a trade war. 

UNTRUE! The countries dependant on exports lose. This would be China. We run huge trade deficits so we would win

A trade war would bring much more power to labor cartels, trial lawyers, environmentalists, and the rat party. Instead of a trade war, I propose that we become more competitive eliminating excess regulations, taxes, and litigation. 

Sure. Get rid of all that over regulation and the American worker will still not be competitive with a Chinese wage slave. And you know this. Tariffs will make it more equal.
You hate tariffs and call it a tax?
All that means is you will pay more and more taxes to support a growing army of the unemployed

A trade war will make us less competitive. There is no escape from global competition.

Untrue! You think China allows an American to build a factory in China? Only if he takes on a 50% Chinese partner even then the American technology will be stolen and the Chinese will build their own factory making that item
Many countries keep out select foreign goods with tariffs or absurd rules and inspections. Doesn't hurt them any

Excellent points. The ChiComs are not going allow an American company to have sole ownership of a factory in Communist China....and US and Western technology has been stolen en masse by the ChiComs
