Why would any Democrat support this? This is Trump they're talking about. Can they not see him just declaring the Democratic Party to be a "terrorism supporting group" because of some vaguery around supporting Gaza?

Ultimately, these mandates are because executives don't work for the same reason normal people do. Most people work to support themselves. But a single year working at an exec at a major company will be enough to let you retire very comfortably, never working another day in your life. Once you have ten million in the bank, you're not really working for money anymore.
Instead, you're working for prestige and power. Execs and high-level managers work for a few reasons. Some work because they want to have power over people. They get a thrill out of having complete authority over other human beings. And sociopathic need to control others is an itch that simply can't be scratched by working remote. Others like to mandate in-office because they're professional shmoozers. They do very little real work. Instead, they just go from meeting to meeting, spend afternoons golfing on the company dime, etc. The company is basically just their own personal social club. Others work because they have a savior complex. They think they're God's gift to mankind, and they need the sycophantic praise that can only come by forcing people to work in person. Finally, some are simply sexual predators. For some, the primary benefit of coming into work is the ability to coerce sex out of their underlings. And it's hard to sexually assault an employee who is working hundreds of miles away.
The major problem here is that China is offering prices below production costs aiming to ruin foreign competition.
Do we have any real evidence of that?
How many times do we need to bail this industry out? Detroit's problems are entirely the fault of its own short-sighted greed. They've deliberately chosen not to produce affordable sedans, instead focusing only on super expensive giant luxury vehicles. This has even happened before. The exact same thing happened back in the 80s with the Japanese car companies. Toyota and Honda ate Detroit's lunch because Detroit had become complacent and greedy.
Japan is a country that has been living in the year 2005 since 1985.
