China's Factories Don't Fear Trump

President Donald Trump seems determined to start a fight with China over trade. He's appointed notable China skeptics to his economic team, badgered companies like Apple Inc. to stop making products on the mainland, and threatened tariffs of 45 percent on Chinese goods.

He hopes to get companies to move their manufacturing operations back home and create jobs in American factories. It won't work. In fact, it's likely to hurt the very voters he's promised to protect.
