...k, so their economy thrives on exports. Exports are goods that are manufactured and then sold to another country...

 
Now that that’s covered let’s move on. If a multinational coalition, Japan, S. Korea, Australia, Canada, the UK, and the EU form a bloc that imposed sanctions and cut Chinese exports well hurt chinas economy gravely. 
 

Logistics are an issue. Trump knows it. ‘Member Obama’s ‘those jobs aren’t coming back’ nonsense? Trump recognizes the threat that is China and has been working diligently to bring manufacturing jobs back to America so that if we go to war with China we actually have the factories making the goods necessary to fight that war. 
 

The best way to fight China is to kick them in the wallet. 

Economics is way more complicated than that. China is integrated in the economy, just ask the mid western farmers now on Trump welfare about that after Trump got there markets closed.

See paragraph 2. 
 

It’s bad. This is why we NEED manufacturing back in the states.

Ok, how will you convince Americans to pay much higher prices for goods? 

 

It will be good to have the strong labor unions back here. Very progressive. 

 

How will you make sure supply disruptions dont tank the economy?

1. I buy American when possible although it costs more. Additionally, manufacturing in Mexico would keep prices low, importation easier, and it would kick China in the wallet. 
 

2. I’ve no issue with unions outside of government employees. But there needs to be right to work on a federal level IMO. After all, it’s the American way. 
 

3. Rapidly but responsibly. If we don’t have a way to get a certain widget but through China, don’t block the importation of that widget until the necessary manufacturing is running here/Mexico/Canada.

I did ask if you would pay more, how will you sell the higher prices for EVERYTHING to the American public? That will make Americans poorer if inflation begins shrinking their income. And sorry, if Mexico could just take over and it was that easy, it would have already happened, transportation costs being what they are and all. 

 

 

 

Whats your plan? 

 

 

Oh, and you want to push an anti Union program, too? Good luck with that, strikes suck too.

Well, I already answered. Also, I mentioned a multinational coalition. We have other Asian countries to exploit for cheap labor. 
 

Point is it needs to be done. The main goal is to destroy Chinese reliance more so than American manufacturing.
