I'm fine with global competition if it isn't arbitrage of environmental regulations.
That used to be palatable to Americans when the polluting resulting from manufacturing their kewpie dolls in Walmart was a local concern of the third world factory.
But global warming pollution isn't localized.
Thus "being globally competitive" amounts to code words for bypassing environmental regulations and further dooming the entire human race. That is a big big big issue.
So while this is amusing and farcical, loopholes are dangerous at industrial scale.
