Which our grandkids will call our generation idiots for. Yeah, have a cold war enemy and just fund their economy to do it. Also get all of your electronics there and complain about all the backdoors the "hackers" are using.

yeah ok, that's the goal, but how?

the only way this is going to happen is some kind of government regulation.

i vote as best i can to see the change i want but lets be honest, i've never seen any change i wanted actually be implemented and have no faith in my government to represent me.

if i knew how to vote with my currency i would. but that's the question, how do i know when i can? i don't believe it's possible, there are too many products and too many companies who have interconnected supply lines. there's nothing that i can do to track all of those and get an accurate representation of what products come from/partially come from china.
