Quote from IluvVol:
you ignorant idiot. A huge number of high tech it equipment is manufactured in China. While those are made by US or Japanese or German companies China makes sure to acquire the know-how and skills to produce them on their own soon, if they dont already know. In a few years China will pump out cars that will be surperior in quality and price to any Detroit BS. 80% of the world's LCD displays are now manufactured and assembled in China (yes, the display itself is now made in China not anymore in Korea or Japan).
The second proof of your ignorance is that the U.S. makes up the larges share of imports from China as SINGLE COUNTRY, however, as a global % share it is A LOT LOWER. Not negligible but a lot lower. May I remind you that the world is larger than just your holy country? A quick pointer, Japan's largest trading partner is not the US anymore its China.
So, take my word for it, before you put up any barriers China will shut off your light in no time. By the way, where will you then take the money to purchase all the goods you then have to buy that are made in USA? Take out another home equity loan? Sorry buddy, no more credit extended to you buddy!!!
So, wake up and grasp reality, you are light years behind
