> destroying domestic clothing production

What a weirdly specific whataboutism argument.

Should we stop food or monetary aid along the same argument?

Probably, yes we should. Unless we want the country to be permanently supported by charity.

Aid should certainly be given in exceptional circumstances - drought, illness, war, etc. But not routinely every year.
