US trade war with China will hurt Korea and Japan even more if they decide to be used to block Chinese trade route(this is an act of war to be honest). Especially China town or other Asian towns like Korean towns. Where do you think all those exotic and Asian food comes from? If you had traveled to China they have a lot of farm fields to feed their population unlike US which is usually own by Companies.
As the U.S. population has grown in size and ethnic diversity, the volume and variety of food consumed and imported in the United States has increased correspondingly. In 2013, U.S. food consumption totaled 635 billion pounds, or more than 2,000 pounds per capita. Of this amount, imports accounted for 19 percent (123 billion pounds), or 390 pounds per capita. Imports comprise an increasing share of food consumed by Americans, much of which cannot be produced domestically due to climate conditions and crop seasonality

When I was interfacing with the customers directly I dealt with a large number of people that were very upset because the products were made in China.
Do it. Bring manufacturing back to the US. Eventually people will understand why we ship manufacturing overseas and will have to decide based on their own firsthand experiences whether they'd have cheaper products or US jobs.
