There's one big problem with boycotting products made in China: With many products today, in every retail store ALL the product from ALL manufacturers are ALL made in China or occasionally in another low-cost producer like Mexico or Malaysia. Sometimes you can find an American producer by searching on the internet and buying online or over the phone, but you can forget about finding many light-manufactured American products at Wal-Mart or Target. For example, if you want to buy a vacume cleaner every single model sold in retail stores is made overseas, mostly in China. You might be able to go online and buy an Oreck vacume cleaner that could be made in America.

Personally I think we are not getting tough with China on trade policy because China is quietly propping up North Korea and using the NK nuclear threat as a weapon to keep us from getting tough on trade. We will not get tough on trade with China because we need their help to eliminate the nuclear threat from NK. Meanwhile, China is stalling and not putting enough pressure on North Korea so they can continue to use this issue against us. The Chinese government is not a friend of ours, but is really a two-faced adversary.

If you think we are getting "their help" to "eliminate the nuclear threat from NK" then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. NK would have no nukes today, if China hadn't been backing them the whole way. You are right to finger NK as merely a proxy for China. What you missing is how blatant it really is...so blatant that ONLY the U.S.'s MSM and some liberal Panda-Huggers in the US Navy Admiralty could fail to see it. Deaf, and Blind. But with a billion-watt megaphone, in CBS/ABC/NBC/NPR. There are none so blind as those who WILL NOT SEE.

By the time they realize we have no choice, but to exercise the "Nautilus Solution"...it will be too late. China will have all the nuclear submarines. Ours will be retired...and we will have no industry capable of building any.
