China lied, then tried to cover it up, then tried to blame the US

I think it will include moving a lot of our manufacturing out of China

We'll have to reform our medical system to keep costs down (not a bad outcome)

We should figure out how much this costs and then deduct it from what we owe them.

When costs in China are pennies on the dollar, things won't change.

Stop buying things made there. Otherwise your hypocrisy is deafening.

Agree but good luck with that. Must everything still made there.

Yeah but if we really care we’d make changes in purchasing.

Cell phones huh? I assure you they do more than that. A lot more.

I realize that. I just used that as an example of how there are few choices.

That's the key though. If consumers start attaching value to goods NOT sourced

Sadly, this is all true, and is in fact reflective of the values over there.
