Exactly. The whole reason behind tariffs is making somebodies products cost more in a market, therefore allowing more competition from products made in societies that have a decent wage, conditions, safety regulations, etc. Otherwise, the so called 'competition' of for example Australian or American workers is against virtual slave labour. A race to the bottom.

Stuff costs more. That is the price you have to pay if you want better quality gear, and jobs in your country. The only other way to compete with these hellholes is to lower your wages and conditions to mirror those hellholes.
