if you don’t want to buy from china, don’t buy from china.

Just don’t tell other americans what to do with their own money and let’s get rid of the nanny state that tries to protect companies that can’t compete.

Your understanding of what China is doing via “free trade” is woeful.

What % of US intellectual property (software, music, firmware, designs, etc) does china actually pay for?

What taxes are put onto US products when they arrive on China’s shore? How about when Chinese products come here?

What punishment has China received for using US high tech products for their military applications, against the trade agreements and US law?

What is an offset? Why does China require them?

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you don’t have any idea that our free trade is actually very poorly managed “managed trade”.

Since, the Chinese were allowed to dump their cheap crappy products on the market, they have driven out American competitors so we have no choice but to buy their garbage. I bought a Vizio TV from Sams because it was manufactured in the US.
