Can the Chinese consumer afford US produced goods?

Largely no.

We would be looking at exporting things like machinery for manufacturing, energy, ag products, technology, etc.

I know. But the poster I responded to thinks that the Chinese market is just going to open up. Well, they have other options for many items.. plus they've put some pretty high tariffs on our own goods. So for them, as of right now, it's best to look elsewhere. I posted about how ASEAN plus China, SK & Japan are all trading together and it is increasing in its scope. Russia and China are trading partners and now you've got Europe partnering up. Those nations cover what you mentioned above. I'm not sure our leverage is quite what it's thought to be.
