The China price for a vast array of goods is substantially lower than their nearest competitor. That, combined with ample opportunities to improve productivity in labor intensive production can offset 5% per year in currency appreciation. China is cost competitive but it would be a little silly to talk about the "profit margin" of all Chinese produced goods.

It is all about workplaces and jobs not profits. A democratic and free trade government can not dictate any company were to manufacture and were to sell.

Imposing tariffs will trigger a trade war and it is counter productive. Exchange rates are the easiest instrument to balance trade imbalances

That's all
