But people in Indonesia, Bangladesh, Philippines and Vietnam all look the same as Chinese people. I really don’t sense much of a difference between those countries.
Indians usually look something like 3/4 white, and 1/4 Chinese.

Not when it will cost ten times the Chinese equivalent.
I have a lot of experience with the difference in cost between American made vs Chinese goods in electronics mainly but also sporting goods. It's not 10 times more expensive although I know you were exaggerating. Chinese goods are about 45% cheaper than to make in the USA. Almost the entire difference is in labor. A Chinese line worker may make as little as around $3 / hr versus the same job in America would pay approximately $18 / hr.

Most Indians don’t have the eyes nor could they pass as white

Seems like a good way to decimate our own economy. We are not currently equipped to be completely self sustaining with manufacturing and prices will skyrocket on goods if we were to cease purchase of Chinese goods.

I always try to avoid Chinese stuff anyway. I have no problem paying a few extra dollars for American made goods, they usually last longer anyway. Unfortunately, there's some things where there aren't a whole lot of options. Hopefully that will start to change.

Goods? Sure.
Food? No way. Love me some Chinese food

Antibiotics and medicines need to be made in the USA. Hope Trump changes that

Indians can’t pass as white largely because of their Mongoloid admixture. That’s why I said they look 1/4 Chinese.

I bet hibachi is going to take a big hit

I wish it worked like that but the Chinese will just build 90% of the product in China and outsource it to Vietnam or Malaysia or something so it will be made in that country. Still a Chinese good. What we can do is buy American even if it costs more.

Let's all stop practicing Kung Fu when attacked in public or in our homes.
There are plenty other forms of combat we know and can use.

Did OP boycott American goods when we unleashed H1N1( Swine Flu) on the world? Didn't think so.

I'm guilty. Have a thinkpad. Lenovo is a Beijing company. I know they still make some stuff in the US. But I think it's only for education and government purchase.
