but what I am arguing for is boycotting ALL products Made in China

You apparently don't know about all the Americans whose jobs are dependant on goods they make and are sold in China.

Last year the US sold a whopping 22.1 billion worth of goods to Communist China, while Communist China shipped a miniscule $125.1 billion of (slave labor/almost slave labor) products to the US.

The only jobs that you are talking about are the exec's at the Wal-Marts of the world. And that is the only reason why they are there--cheap slave labor.

This 1.2 billion consumer market is a myth that was sold by white shoe salesmen at the turn of the last century.

Jobs in America are going to be damn scarce when the first ocean shipping container causes a disaster in a major port and Uncle embargos every ship within a thousand miles of the US.
