I don't think it's a matter of raising taxes but a matter for diplomacy and trade agreements. There shouldn't be a plethora of empty ships headed back to China - they should be filled to the gills with American product. It's not free trade if it's largely one-sided.
And then there's the side angle that, while the enviroweenies want to eradicate every cow from the prairie in the USA, we're raising crops to feed more cows elsewhere.
1. We don't have free trade with China.
2. You appear to be objecting that we are shipping stuff to China.
