Ban their companies, like Foxconn, that builds all iPhones?
What about all the hundreds of billions of dollars in other goods that are manufactured there that the West is reliant on?
I also want to see consequences for these actions, but the situation is more nuanced than you seem to realize.
- abc-xyz 8y agoIt's not like China is the only country capable of building iPhones and other goods. Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, etc all seem like good alternatives until the goods can be manufactured in democratic countries with the help of robots. Would the western countries, companies and consumers suffer economically? Sure, but sometimes it's necessary to make sacrifices for the greater good, and it would be very shortsighted to ignore the threat China poses to the world.
- fiblye 8y agoFoxconn is a Taiwanese company. They'd be unable to export things from their Chinese factories, but I doubt it'd affect them much.
