I know enough about the subject to know how much more I don't know. One of the many reasons for outsourcing to Mexico and then China is that the move to Mexico is protected by NAFTA. And while Mexico does have some regulations on handling poisonous materials such as lead and more rarely Arsenic those regs are much looser than in the US. After a number of years in Mexico it is common to outsource again to China which has even fewer regs. This is why China can produce solar panels for much less than anyone else in the world. Gallium Arsenide is made up of two poisonous metals to make solar panels and settlements for fatal industrial accidents can be settled faster and cheaper in China.

Similar regulatory booby-traps exist in all trade pacts.
 
It's more about labor racketeering and dodging environmental laws re these 'free trade' deals', yes; Ford shipping itself stuff from their factories in some other country isn't real trade, though. Real international trade has been stagnant and even declining since the 1980's. It's all about money laundering and labor racketeering nowadays, which is why these 'deals' are so stacked against U.S. interests.
 
The whole 'free trade' shit is all about enriching the top end, at the expense of the workers.
The fact that it also entails environmental bastardry is just another facet of the deals.
Nothing good will ever come from 'deals' done behind closed doors.
Except for the dealers, of course!

People realize that they are getting screwed on the environmental stuff. The real problem is the picky crap that gets you buried in paperwork and has led to Brexit.
 
One famous case was Brussels, if memory serves, defining the names that could be given to shades of, I believe, the color green on labels but similar examples are available worldwide.
 
NAFTA, GATT, TPP, the WTO and other crony crap isn't free trade. It's centrally managed trade.

True freedom and free enterprise don't require encyclopedia sized reams of documentation, regulation, and bureaucracies. All they require is freedom.
 
Mexico, and Europe as well, still tax the crap out of each other's imports, they just call the tax something different, 'ad valorum' or something like that; Mexico's is around 13%-15% on American imports, while they don't get any tax on theri exports to the U.S.; that's because the vast bulk of it is just intra-company transfers, not real foreign trade. The 'globalist' narrative is just a load of semantic BS, sounds better than labor racketeering and money laundering by multi-nationals.
