Well we buy all their shit. So sure, do what you want China as we stop buying anything made in china.
We probably have enough stuff in our stores, storage and docks to last a while. Meanwhile half your population, will lose their job and we will be fine.

Just to get our business back you will sell us back our debt.


Oh, and someone said China's military is bigger than ours?

See, this user gets it. Not only this, but there is a lot of nations who would do anything to make our products.

Name at least 3.

No, any poor third world country can make those products as well. Mexico is creating a lot of out products more than ever for USA. However, China makes a shit load of money from making hardware compare to any of those products you mention. If hardware starts to decrease it will hurt China no matter what. Not to mention a lot of jobs China depended on is being automated thanks to technology.

It would still take years for a country like Mexico to have the industrial infastructure to "replace" China, there would likely be a global recession for many years from a trade war that would make 2008 look quaint. 

Besides, really, if the whole point here is to "bring back jobs", what exactly is the benefit if you're moving things from China to Mexico or the Philippines or whatever? You've accomplished jack shit. 

If we go to war with China, every manufacture from other countries will build up another Country's infastructure to outsource our work, not just United States. With the technology we have today, it will be easier and faster than it was with China the first time.

You got me with auto industry. That is a commodity that sells no matter what here.

However, none of the countries you mentioned above can gear up to output the quantity of quality products like China does.

They will over time. Those countries are desperate for jobs and to become a stronger country. China can't live without U.S.

Stay strong brothers, your cheap plastic stuff from Chyna will find a safe space.

China would sell their stuff to the rest of the world. China would gain more from this situation than US.

China has a tight economic relationship with all the developed and developing nations. Chinese products sell everywhere, even in Africa and South America, you can't say the same about American made products.

No, China biggest customer is USA. If we leave China would go through a great depression. That and we can probably get NATO on board and sanction them. Just like we did to Russia.
