Yes, I think America’s addiction to disposable Chinese consumer products is a bad thing and it’s good for those things to be more expensive.

I don’t know why you think “Chinese made products will become more expensive” is a dunk. Yeah, that’s the point. That was common knowledge when this stuff was being debated in the 1990s. The working class opposed free trade back then, fully understanding that the pitch for free trade was cheaper foreign made goods.
