@Karma: No, this my point. International exchanges are biaised, unfair and destructive, therefore we need to be pragmatic and fight back with a good dose of protectionism.
@Az: The theory is well known and unfortunately proven wrong as years pass by. 1) People losing their jobs because of delocalization or total annihilation of our industrial structure are not going to find another jobs in higher added-value industries, because they have no qualification. 2) These people are out of the national/european economic system: they consume less, they pay a lot less taxes, and they are (from an economical point of view of course) a dead weight on our societies. This leads to a pauperization of our economies, hampering the emergence of higher added-value industries, and jeopardizing the others. 3) Local market opportunities. Higher added-value industries need intermediate consumption for their inputs (obviously). Some industries need those to be local, not produced in China or whatever.
And it's been 20 years now. I'm not angry against China - they're doing whatever they see fit to improve their economy, their nation and their power, this is no different from what other (super) powers have done in the past -, but we have to fight back. Everybody knows the Yuan is artificially devalued (approx. by 50%), we need to put tariffs to AT LEAST to compensate this. And/or, we need to control the European Central Bank to fight back. If we don't act, we're doomed.
I have nothing against China in particular, India and Brazil are a threat too. I have no problem with them protecting their home markets, as long as they let us do the same (again at a European level).
Ah whatever. Sorry with the campaign in France and everything, this is getting on my nerves more than it usually does.
