I mean even before the war, my business has intentionally started moving away from any manufactured parts or materials made from that part of the world for a variety of reasons (cost, quality control, and ongoing tensions).
I personally avoid any products made in that country as best as possible, and it feels good knowing that China is no longer the largest trade partner with America. I know it’s impossible to entirely avoid Chinese made components currently, but I feel like things are moving in the right direction.
I avoid buying stuff from China too, but every major multinational corporation relies on China for basic supply chain materials at a reasonable price allowing for profit margin; until you can convince all those entities that cutting off access to the cheapest supplier and sometimes only supplier, no sitting president is going to put real consequences on the Chinese government.
The sad truth is that we unloaded the majority of our environmental production problems to countries that were willing to take on that problem, and were willing to sign onto international patent laws. China was willing to do this, created enough educated population to do this, and had no problem with the environmental damage that it created. USA, EU, and most of the so called “developed” nations were willing to put all that onto China. China has no problems under paying and overworking their citizens, while using super lax environmental laws.
Actually though it seems like a lot of companies have started moving away from China for a lot of reasons. Look at this new report showing that Mexico surpasses China as the largest trade partner with the USA now, and china is on the decline:
I’ll hold my breath until it happens
