Make them play by fair trade rules if they want to trade. And tax the shit out of the slave-produced goods. If we do that, our products will be super-competitive, because our workers are way more productive. This will come at some cost, short-term. And we need to use those tariff revenues to target affected individuals. And as for the miniscule number of farmers who depend on selling soy to China, help them transition, short-term, but tell them the free ride's ending and they either start growing something else, or go broke.
Same for sugar-beet farmers, whose support has us paying double the price for sugar, already. That's protectionism, which is a separate (but related) deal.
We can profit, short-term, as can GOOGLE, the NBA and a plethora of other tiny interest groups. But long-term, we will lose our freedom and our prosperity. So we need to make some tough choices, which nobody in the DC Beltway except Trump seems willing to make. I don't want ANY goods from a factory that needs suicide nets to keep its workers from flinging themselves out of 10th-floor windows!
