"outsourcing manufacturing jobs to China does hurt American workers" Only in a narrow, short-term sense. In the wider, longer-term sense outsourcing simply represents someone making a decision that appears to be to their economic benefit. Such decisions should be generally beneficial, as long as the surrounding legal framework is fair. Now, it isn't fair -- either in the US or China (and historically, the US has an awful record with, for example Labor Relations). The big problem with globalization is that is globalizes dollars but not people, which is unfair to most people. E.g. I can pretty easily move my dollars to where they'll do the most good, but I can't just as easily move myself. Why do you care about "American" jobs anyway, other than nationalism? Surely our goal should be to make the world better for people.
