But then the left would get involved, and force the unions in so wages would be too high to compete with China, and the factories would close.

I hate to break it to you but it wasn't the unions that drove Anti-American companies to outsource to China.It was the fact they could get way with paying people 24 to 34 cents an hour that drove them to China and the restrictive tariffs were removed that made shipping goods here cheap. Because if it was them thar e-vile unions that drove the factories away then they would have fled to Right to Work states where they don't have to worry about unions extorting companies for absurd benefits and pay. If you want to bring back the factories then slap heavy tariffs on Chinese goods to even the playing field. I know some libertain-tards with their lips planted on the ass cheeks of big business owners will say bu bu but tariffs are bad.
This was back when the minimum wage in the US was $5.15 an hour. There is no ****ing way an American in 2004 could compete with 24 to 34 cents an hour.

Li said these factories often require employees to work as many as 80 hours per week during the busy season for $75 to $110 per month, violating Chinese labor laws.
This is 2021.There is no way an American just making minimum wage of $7.25 an hour can compete with that.

According to the 2021 data, the minimum hourly wage in China per hour is around $1.52. In like a month, a worker can earn up to $161.07. This rate varies depending on the city and provinces and their corresponding development.
