This has been critically aided and abetted by regulation that restricts and squelches, and in many cases outright outlaws, quite a lot of manufacturing and job-creating enterprises. The reason Americans have to buy stuff from China is because between environmental regulations, labor regulations, anti-discrimination regulations (got to have those expensive handicapped bathrooms and stairs), and on through heaven only knows how many agencies, it is a losing proposition to try to do it in America. We can't even make our own energy except with stupid, bird-slaughtering wind turbines and glaring solar farms.
Government tyranny working on an ignorant populace is a key component of killing jobs and driving them to China.
I think you are not understanding my point.
We cannot, export so many American jobs.
We will destroy America.
