In an act of desperation, the US Govt is taking action against China, for selling us things we want, at a price we like. We demand they ruin their economy, as we have ruined ours. Only if they too ruin theirs, will ours not look so bad.
No manufacturer need be hurt by "cheap imports"... If you make 10 penny nails in USA, and a cheaper 10 penny nail comes from China one day, then an importer is behind it. Do you believe the importer of the 10 penny nail will steal your customers? To compete, become an importer too. Import 10 penny nails from China, and offer them both to start, the home made and the imported ten penny, and let your customers decide. Importing is not a business, selling things is business. If you are a rice farmer in USA, and cheaper rice comes in from Indonesia, then let your farm rest while you import and sell Indonesian rice to your customers. It's just business.
Most importers in USA are just companies who buy overseas what they once made here. Like George Soros, we just exploit stupid government policy.
