This is a BIG deal for everyone.
I have even gotten camo hats from a US PX with the China label inside... think about that for a minute!

I agree. Initially it would hurt us, however, over a period of time, it would force us to manufacture what China used to import. Albeit, goods would be more expensive, but our unemployment problem would disappear. This combined with Trumps corporate tax cuts could be the answer imo.
Other side effects would be for us to eliminate our dependence from that side of the world, and the slow strangling of Chins's economy, leading to their own civil war.
Ya, ya, that's the ticket. I like it.
