Dumping of cheap consumer goods below production costs by countries like Japan in the 1970's and China in the 2020s, is easily managed with anti dumping laws, that if goods seem too cheap and below reasonable manufacturing costs, countries can confiscate and destroy those goods, very effectively implemented in Australia by its Customs services. UNFORTUNATELY Tariffs are very popular with illiterate voters, who think tariffs work, because they have no way to access historical record that shows they ALWAYS FAIL. People who can't read, rely on impulse, and impulse is more often wrong than right, where informed decision is sustainable and practical.
