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.  

And also forget about Walmart. Almost everything is China made from shoes to mobile phones to laptops to tables to carpets to TVs to anything else you use in your daily life. Your home most surely is filled with made in China
