Shenzhen-based electronic parts supplier Menpad said Monday that it would give a 15% subsidy to any employees who bought phones from Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE. 'Stop purchasing US brands'
China does a lot of manufacturing for foreign businesses, including U.S. companies. They ship raw materials to China. Factory workers build the final products and ship them back to the United States. In this way, a lot of China's so-called "exports" are technically American products.

I have not knowingly bought Chinese for years for a number of reasons. US doing this will certainly cause short term pain but long term gain. I’m all for it.

Their economy contracted something like 8% the past year.
They're getting desperate.

Well honestly America rellies on Chinese goods and products seeing how everything is made in china.
Thankfully I grow most of my own vegetables and spices.

You likely have if you have bought any garlic. Some 90%+ of ready peeled and minced garlic sold on North American markets' shelves are from Chinese prison labor. Even the whole garlic is majority Chinese. We have prisons in all states ready to fill the demand. Let's please ban chinese prison garlic and go American. Plus it would be hilarious the garlic hustle shenanigans that would subsequently show up on prison tv shows and movies.
We need to bring all US manufacturing back home.
