    So…

    You agree with me that we should let people buy Chinese products while we build up our own infrastructure?

    I’m just having trouble following you, your comments aren’t really consistent

      I’m saying there needs to be demand for western products. Tariffs are a good way of doing that.

      Africa, Asia and south America can still buy Chinese goods.

        But it’s not just tariffs…

        BYD electric cars can’t even be sold in America…

        Because they’re not expensive enough.

        Solar panels have flipped from banned to tariffs multiple times off the whims of American industries.

          Don’t you find it hypocritical to criticize support of Israel for committing genocide, while advocating support of China who is committing genocide?
