That’s not all. The US government exists to look out for the interests of wealthy americans.

Every dollar spent on a different nation is a dollar that could’ve been spent on them, in their eyes.

American business owners know that China is competitive because they can provide better products at cheaper prices. Americans would need to invest in making their products better or lower prices to compete with China. Both result in lower profits for owners.

This is why we will never stop seeing FUD against products that offer us a better deal than those looking to exploit us further. It’s more profitable to convince useful idiots to “buy american” than it is to actually sell them products worth buying at competitive prices.
