"Not only a retail business won’t ever comply in evicting Chinese goods, the vast majority of customerswon’t ever like an idea to pay 10 times more for non-Chinese toothvrush and things like that"

All Chinese goods have to come in through US ports-of-entry which could be shut down by the US gov't tomorrow at dawn if they really wanted to. Few if any are expensive enough to bother smuggling in, and would probably cost more than US goods after the smugglers took their cut.

American made toothbrushes would not cost 10X more. We're being sold down the river for ridiculously small markups. Less than 10% per unit cost in some cases.

Good post...yes products would not cost much more if made in the US than Communist China. In fact, the reduction in transport costs would make up any difference in labor costs

Too many folks on here are apologists for Communist China, and like a weak America.

Tariffs are better than Treason

That is the favorite Free Traitor scare tactic, the $10.00 tooth brush. Only the economically ignorant would fall for that one. Labor costs in an semi automated factory(anywhere in the world including in the USA)making dental products is probably less than 5%.
