If you don't like it, stop buying manufactured goods there. Supply stops when demand drys up.

  No, this won’t do any good. People at scale have to be nudged by price before they change their buying habits. China pollutes with reckless abandon and US manufacturing has been hollowed out because of cheap manufacturing. The cost savings in china includes being free to pollute and extremely low labor costs, and other factors.

  This is a really flippant comment if you've actually tried vet the country of origin for the things you buy. It can be near impossible.

  Easier said then done. Check out https://www.reddit.com/r/NotMadeInChina/ https://www.reddit.com/r/NotMadeInChina/ for some cases where you can get a nmic product, but if you go to a store to shop or even shop on Amazon, it’s increasingly difficult. Amazon doesn’t even show country of origin, so you usually have to go to the Q&A to see if it’s been answered. Almost certainly it will say something like, “our products are proudly designed by our team in Sweden and manufactured by our partner in China.”

    We could build some blueprint legislation for states that has country of origin and stick it on a website. After that we could rally our state legislature to use our blueprint. It would be easier to go that route than federally. Look at what California does with emissions standards and cancer causing items. States have power.

  China has enough people to consume their own goods.
