I am not sure who, but it sounded like a Simpson's voice.
ETA - Maybe it is SouthPark.

This is just bloody childish! What is wrong with these governments, and why do we stand by and fall for their BS time and time again.
They are like children!
The POTUS kind of set the benchmark for this behaviour.
There’s a word for people that think like this. What is it again? Oh yeah....cucks.

Are American citizens willing to punish China by going without Chinese products?
I am and have for a while (if I can).
The US needs to rebuild it's manufacturing and supply chain. So every citizen can buy all American stuff without having to hunt for it.
Yep. Self-sufficiency is always the wise choice. We did that with oil and natural gas. We should do that with medications also.

Out of curiosity, to those of you Americans who are swearing off all Chinese goods and want all manufacturing to go back to America... how will you pay for those American made goods?
One of the main reasons those goods are made in China (and other Asia countries) and imported is because Chinese workers are paid significantly less, therefore the cost of manufacturing is less and consequently the price of the goods you get are relatively affordable.
If the same goods are made in the good ole US of A, from American workers, who demand equal wage salaries, equal rights, etc, they won’t be the same cost - they will be significantly more expensive.
Also, what about the resources such as precious metals the US doesn’t have easy access to and China does?

yes - keep the yellow slaves in china around for cheap #.. Is that what your saying?
The other scenario is if you don't bring back jobs to the west there will be no overseas market for China, cause no-one will have any money.
Perhaps we could just stop with buying all the pollution causing pieces of # from the $ stores. All the plastic trinkets for xmas trees, then work up to limiting the number humans alive with a acceptable lifestyle at anyone time.
Remember America is in debt and China owns that debt -- Wait until they come for their payment.
