We benefit from cheap imports

in a similar way you benefit from first few cheap heroin doses. so, not really.

my country officials were bowing and saluting to china cargo planes carrying masks and syringes during covid and there were real fear they if they did not, the plane might not have landed. we had indeed no capability to produce syringes and masks at home.

being dependent on china, which is euro-atlantic civilization’s geopolitical enemy number one, is not smart long term strategy.
