I don't believe that the imaginary lines that humans tend to draw in the sand to separate people make a Chinese person less worthy of a job than an American. It is in my best interest to keep jobs from leaving the country. Money tends to circulate locally, so we're decreasing the amount of wealth available here when we buy foreign goods. Losing American jobs also increases the costs of our social welfare programs. However, since our social welfare programs are presumably better than China's, creating a Chinese job at the cost of an American job likely leaves the world better off if we assume that the increased taxes and decreased American income would result in a negligible decrease in well-being in comparison. I think that's a fair assumption. Shop at Walmart, save the world.
