Well the tariffs are there to protect the local industry and local jobs, without tariffs and considering the amount of subsidies and the cheap labor these companies take advantage of in China they would just flood our markets, kill the competition and then be free to do whatever they want. What Amazon did but for the car industry.

Which again is OK when Amazon and Walmart do it based on Chinese manufactured goods but not when China does it directly? We need better than that!

Eh... I'm using Amazon as an example to show how it would be a bad thing?

Yes, I understood... I am just making reference to my prior stance that, for the USA government at least, if Amazon does X is fine, but if a Chinese company wants to do similar, it cannot be allowed... even though, in this example, Amazon is doing the exact same bad thing with Chinese manufactured goods all the same
