Anyone with an open mind might do well to read The Reckoning by Halberstam, Factory Man by Beth Macy, and Boom, Bust Exodus by Chad Broughton. Finally if reading is a struggle, check out the documentary The Last Truck.
I have worked all over the globe including starting plant in China, moving work around for various reasons and creating American jobs at the largest exporter. I don’t claim to know everything except that a simpleton racist view isn’t going to serve you well in competition. Acquire skills and a deep understanding of quality and productivity improvement tools… those will always help you.
