Woah. Some people need to take some courses on economics. And I would say yes most of you are as dumb as you appear if you think boycotting China would do any good for our economy. We trade our green paper for their goods.
The reason why we buy from them is because those goods are made for less cost in China. If we boycotted China then all we would end up doing is paying more for the same good or service elsewhere. The economy would enter a long recession or depression depending on how long we kept this up. Also, many of our wonderful luxurious service jobs in the office working on a computer would have to shift back to lower paying harder working industry.
Spending money on products made in china does not hurt the U.S. economy. The U.S. dollar can only be spent in one economy and that is ours. What we spend on China's products simply comes back to us as either them buying our products or investing it in a piece of our economy. While you may not see the effect quite as directly as buying from a U.S. company, the net effect is easier access to loans, investment, and someone to export to.
I still do agree that many of the items made in China are of poorer quality than those made in the U.S., a little competition only makes things better price and quality for all of us.
I have seen so many of these posts on many different forums and it always disturbs me deep inside but usually I don't comment for fear of angering someone but I can't keep it inside for much longer.
sorry for the long post.
