There are also a lot of U.S. citizens who make a living working in roles that are part of that china->U.S. supply chain. Lots of potential unforeseen consequences that I'm not qualified to assess. But if you had an ideological desire to, for example, roll back a half century of increasing globalization in an attempt to bring back the halcyon days of stable, high paying U.S. manufacturing jobs then you might in your private views be willing to accept a couple of decades of suffering to get there. Of course you'd also have to believe that restoring U.S. manufacturing would bring back those production jobs, and not just sell a lot of robots.
