Americans have had many chances to buy domestic goods and often choose foreign products even when given a choice. 

I remember in the 80s/90s if you could buy something made in Japan, you automatically bought that every time over American made stuff, lol. 

Also how much more are you willing to pay? $500 for a PS4? $600? 

A war like that won't just be a "trade war" it will turn into a Cold War pretty quick. 

China is not just TVs and Playstations, 70% of what's in a Wal-Mart (even things like Apple Juice) are produced in China. If you start a trade war, you are going to make life far more expensive for the average American. 

 

lol i payed 400 for a PS4 so an extra 100 for it not to be chinese is a bargin to me if it means more jobs just down the street.  

I avoid chinese food products like the plague, and dont shop at walmart.  

It woulnd become a cold war, chinese know they would lose and there is no upside for them turining it into that.  

$100? A Vitamix blender, made in the US, $599. Walmart blender, made in China, $13.47
A PS4 pro made in the US would be a lot more than $100 extra.
