Very poor analogy. When you spend $100 at the grocery store, the $ stays in the US, people are employed in the US, and you get decent food (or you might not but you can if you choose good food).
Buying crap from China means the money circulates in CHINA, employing people in CHINA and the crap Chinese goods that you buy are PURE TOTAL JUNK.
You don’t really believe what you wrote, do you?
Or it all goes into the globull economy so “it’s all one”?
The $100 dollars I spend for groceries is NOT a $100 loss. That is deceptive and totally misleading.
Unfortunately, in some areas the Chinese have learned to make very good products at low prices. There are a LOT of American and Euro engineers and production engineers working in China now - not because they particularly want to, but because it is where they can get hired.
These products are not the norm, now, but, the Chinese generally are not stupid...
