The level of EVERYTHING made in China is STAGGERING! It is statistically up and over 90% which includes food and medicine/medical supplies. If this were WWII,America would have been easily defeated and the war lost within a year.

What about the azzholes who sold out to them to begin with.
........
Exactly. ....
It’s all about money. Like Apple and their phones. Lots of companies do this. ...

On shark tank TV, the first suggestion from the sharks is always. .....why don’t you take it to china? .....the the poor inventor guy says. ...well, I want Americans to have jobs. ....then the damn sharks sneer and call the guy a fool and tell him to go away. ....

It is all about the money. ...to bring the stuff home, Americans must agree to pay more for the crap they want. Union workers don’t work cheap. ....

Didn’t Trump promise to do this back in 2016? What’s taking him so long, especially since putting this in action before November 2018 would have avoided resistance from the Dem-controlled House?

There would have been even greater resistance from the R-controlled house.

Remember that situation?

If Trump let it be known, new US policy would continue to be for the US navy to patrol the sea lanes to protect world shipping US-flagged vessels from piracy, we would be able to derive income from the shipping industry again. Non US-flagged vessels would be hit by higher insurance rates, which would mean higher transport costs for foreign products.

Shippers could continue to receive protection in consideration of a stipulated fee to the US, maybe around $10 million per non US-flagged vessel or they could convince their home countries to launch a seven-seas navy

Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.

The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CCWV (Chinese Communist Wuhan Virus) breakout occurred in Wuhan the politburo closed off Wuhan but did not warn the Italian Socialist government or the Pope with whom the Chinese government had good relations with.

But certainly violated when the socialists should have been informed and allowed to deny those Chinese workers who replaced Italians in those factories taken over by the Chinese travel to and from China particularly for their New Year while this was occurring. Which Trump did with the exception of only allowing American citizens returning..
Sure looks suspicious particularly when crews of US naval vessels somehow wind up being infected by it while visiting certain Asian ports before that showed up in Italy.

To stop the return of manufacturing of products back to the US that went to China. China backers here who’s family members are making millions from China through their political connections will be hit hard are also claiming that Trump’s alleged stock ownership in a quinine pills maker claim its a controlling interest in a product to be totally ineffective and when used requires a severe restriction of movement when near a possible carrier known as a shutdown because of its rapid transmission .

Which also affected workers at the Chinese owned Smithfield Pork Processing and had the China backer US media charging racism but may have prevented an Italy from happening here .
