I can't believe our own elected officials caved in to corporate interest, leaving the American people hanging out to dry.

I remember a time when the U.S. government at least attempted to protect American industry, American jobs.

I've practiced a boycott of Chinese products for several years now. I do everything I can to avoid purchasing anything from China.

Big whoopty doo some say. Like YOUR gonna make a difference.

Yep, and the boycott of cheap Chinese goods is growing.

I'm not against free trade. I love capitalism and the free market exchange and folks making an honest profit.

What I'm against is corporate leaders engaging in practices that endanger our national security.

Just read all the reports of how Chinese officials have subverted our election process, grown their military double digits for a decade now, maneuvering to gain economic advantage, cyber advantage, space advantage......all done by selling cheap Chinese goods to our market.

Japanese toys flooded American markets in the 1930s, and Japan took it's payment back in the form on American-made steel ... steel that was turned into battleships, cannons .. etc.

I’ve practiced a boycott of Japanese products (esp. cars) for decades....saved me a bunch of money! Always liked the Koreans better anyway. Why would you buy Chinese toys anyway!...now if they made a Jeep Diesel, I might have to at least look at one.
