We have a huge weapon in our market; it hurts China a lot more if they can’t sell in our market then it hurts the US to not be able to sell in China’s market. We should be using that a lot more. Or, to put it in a more nuanced manner: Corporations that are directly benefiting from the low worker standards in China, while also benefiting from the legal and civic infrastructure of the US, could be made to pay for that double-dealing. Targeting the goods with tarrifs distorts the market and causes weirdness; targeting the corporations engaging in the unethical behavior makes a hell of a lot more sense.
