I don’t vote for a president to achieve global fairness. I vote for one who will make my life the best. If that’s not great for Chinese peasants that’s not the US President’s problem. China should develop its economy, but the US should not have allowed its corporations to have given China such a huge leg up in doing so.

I’m not convinced that voting for overall fairness (global, national, state, community) is opposed to making your life the best.

Those Chinese peasants will become the US problem (see the rise of China in the last 50 years).

Those Chinese corporations are what made “your life the best” with your cheap cars, electronics.

Your point sounds like you want to have your cake and eat it.
