Tariffs don't help you compete globally -- they're about disadvantaging the global in favor of the local.

Someone may be able to pay workers $300/month and make them work the "996 working hour system"[1], but if they then have to mark up the end product by 100%, the disparity between local and global price to consumers narrows.
