Well then, I guess we should all just become slaves to China since it’s not worth putting a fight. 🙄
Equalizing the playing field was part of the legislation that Canada just got rid of in order to import cheap (subsidized and possibly made with slave labor) Chinese cars.
Someone else mentioned the US. We had those industries in the US, and we let them wither on the vine. Now we can’t manufacture cars because one of the controller chips is single sourced and the country that it comes from is tied up in some sort of “geopolitical tension”. Our clothes are made in sweatshops by slave labor. And many of our generic drugs are coming from countries that don’t have quality standards so they don’t work at all, or worse they actually make people sick. But hey, at least they’re cheap!
Scientists have been warning this for years, but nothing is being done and nothing will be done. We have vaccines to prevent flu in livestock, but we don’t bother to use them for whatever short sighted reason. 🤷♂️
