As it stands we all cry about how bad the Chinese govt is and then hand them all our money.

Lots of options out there. Not everything comes from China and we don’t “need” things that are. Except cell phones.

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

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.

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.
