Instead of the climate and nuclear concerns we should be working on treaties about patent and copyright protections in order to maintain a level playing field.

Dude, stop talking like a Democrat. There is no level playing field. You play the hand you're dealt and American business has been handed a bad one.

Patent and copyright protections play a part, but inflation, taxes, and regulations are all controllable, too.

Oh, by the way:

The internet now allows commerce on a world wide basis.

That's a good thing.

We cannot compete with other countries on labor cost. Our advantage is innovation and R&D. If other countries are able to use our research to make products cheaper than we can I don't see how we will compete.
