It’s not like all cheap Asian labor is in China and Taiwan. There are other options even if we insist on buying things made out of the U.S., even if we insist on buying from cheap Asian countries. Look up countries that are part of the ASEAN agreement with the U.S.
Agreed, lots of other sources, now or potentially for the products we now buy from China. But that misses the immediate question, do we stop now, continue buying until a US service member is injured or killed, or do we continue even then? I consider our claim to defend Taiwan is false when we’ve already chosen China for their cheap products. It is all talk and maybe we’ll squeal when they invade, but if we are addicted to China’s products, will we do more?
I agree with you. There are other Asian countries that make far better products than the cheap crap China makes.
