Yes, let’s cut off ties with one of our more critical trade partners. That will surely help pull us out of a undoubtedly deep economic hole.
Congrats on your reading comprehension

Sanctions, and I'd probably create a PBS, but the only thing it would do is show videos of wet markets and satellite images of their death camps.
If you really want to punish China with PBS, just broadcast the same shite they do here at home.

I grew up in a time without cell phones and internet. Wouldn't bother me one bit.
So did I. Hope you don't own Apple stock then.

What I think is funny is either of these things would tank the world economy for a decade or more. Usually offered by those that want to open everything up so as not to ruin the economy.
Well no one ever accused them of being smart.
I'm all for opening up everything because we have way too many people already IMO. We could do with a good herd thinning. It's also just beyond ignorant to think "nukin' 'gina" does anything other than destroy our own country.

Exclude them from American markets. Expel chinese nationals from US soil. Freeze any US held assets belonging to Chinese nationals. Seize chinese held properties in US soil. Expel diplomats and close Chinese embassies. Freeze trade with China. Cut exports to China to an effective zero rate. Sanction nations that trade food, oil, or essential goods with china.
Send 4 or 5 carrier groups to the Sea of Japan and South China Sea. Park several ballistic missile submarines in the same area. Hunter-killer sub groups actively deployed to the region. Share nuclear technology with Japan and South Korea. Beef up military armament and co-training war game exercises with these nations.
In short: stop fricking around and get ready for the party.

I hope your definition of party means bread lines and massive unemployment. Because that's what your ideas will accomplish.

Proudly declare the debt with China to be $0.01, then cut them a check for it.

A sacrifice worth making, considering how out of touch we are with each other.
Acting like the American market won't fill the void with automation, even if the end product costs a little more. Are you a commie sympathizer?

Let’s say you’re president of the United States of America. Knowing what we know now, namely that China lied and covered up for weeks or months the fact they had a massive outbreak of a highly contagious, incurable virus while allowing millions to come in and go out of the infection zone causing a global pandemic that killed tens of thousands and trew the entire world into turmoil, what actions, if any, would you take to hold China accountable for their actions? Please explain your reasoning.
First, I would deny the shite out of the virus despite advisors and experts warning me otherwise. THEN i'll claim to contain it and will it into disappearance. THEN when it's obvious to most people that I've shite the bed, I'm going to start blaming the frick out of China. I mean I'm going to call it the Chinese Virus at press conferences, my cult will start calling it other shite like Wuhan flu b/c the media will focus on needless shite like what we are calling it, instead of reporting on the missteps during the denial stage. At some point, I'll back off on calling it the chinese virus b/c the China President guy tells me to shut it. I'm telling you guys, this shite is foolproof. My followers are so devoted, they will downvote any a-hole that dares repeat the actual events that have taken place b/c this is totally China's fault guys. Believe me. It's the most China fault thing I've ever seen. Everyone is saying it. No one could have seen this coming. I've handled this perfectly. The media is mean to me. They read back words that I've said and that's not nice. Nasty woman. No president has ever been treated this badly. This is also Sleep Joe Biden's fault somehow. #covefe-19

Something tells me you wouldn't pay $2,500 for a cell phone. Which is what it would cost to be produced in America with American workers making a living wage, with health insurance, benefits, and in a regulated factory.

Yeah a country with around 1,437,000,000 people reporting ZERO new cases for many days in the last few weeks is totally believable

That's just your opinion, man. And one I'm inclined to agree with personally.
That doesn't matter though.
A) You're missing out on making money if your 401k doesn't include Apple.
and
B) You still don't even attempt to address the economic disaster that would result from all the ideas you guys think are so simple to implement.

The other guy below pretty well summed it up. And you still can't make it without raw materials. You guys don't seem to comprehend that we literally CANNOT make these things since the materials don't exist in America. How you going to automate your way around that, smart guy?

People keep throwing this out but I assume they are just frustrated shite-posts because anyone with enough knowledge of the situation to comment would know that would throw the world economy into a tailspin. You would instantly turn the world's strongest currency into toilet paper. Maybe I give tOT posters too much credit.
