Because right now we depend on the so much. Look at the necessary drugs. If we just stopped all trade with China tomorrow, many drugs people rely and, and some the probably aren't necessary would be gone for quite a while.
Someone has to find a way to replace things. We are so reliant on them right now, our whole economy would collapse.
Yes.
We don’t need their cheap/slave labor.
We don’t need their subsidized garbage product, sent as economic warfare.

I had no idea who JD Vance is. I found this speech of his given just last week on July 10th. He discusses the same thing about how we need to have a strong economy at home to be able to secure our peace. And not having China making all of our stuff. (20 minutes long)
