Well we depend on them now. They manufacture everything. Thousands of items are no longer made here, and only available from china. Even if we started making them again we would not be able to afford them because of our cost of labor is 100x more than theirs. So go ahead and say **** china, cause we would be in a world of hurt without them.

But the same is true for them. We are the largest importer of their goods. If we stopped buying from them, they would feel it. But that's never going to happen, and they know it. Because we can't afford to pay US workers to manufacture items, and price the item at a point to make a profit.

This is nothing but political games they are playing. Probably in response to the lead in toys discovery. They do things like this all the time. When we banned the import of some of their seafood, they banned the import of some of our poultry into their country. They like to trade punches to make a point.
