Replying to [AMAN SAGGI]: Although the USA can live without products from CHINA, they may not need to, at a later date. What happened with the Chinese quality assurance is actually a great sign for needed "pause" with the specific China business-or any other business or business location that puts out massive products or services, defectually, until they can clean up their products quality assurance mess-if they have one. When a country does not check the quality assurance of the products they sell, either before or as they sell them, it affects more than the buyer and the seller. In this case, it actually caused great harm to the end consumer, and if undetected for a longer period, would have brought more hurt or harm forward, for all involved. This is a wake up call for big business to make sure that no matter how many products are bought and sold, and from whom, quality products are the key to both continued business, coupled with SAFETY. And HOW you do business, big or small, really does matter! When you try to make fast money with less that quality items, you can rev up production with lightening speed & collect quick cash at first, but then, you will crash down with that same supersonic momentum, if you are not concerned with the products or services that you peddle in the long run, costing you in corporate face value, and lawsuits from faulty products or services. Yet, even with all of that, viva both big business & small business alike, SAFELY, with great quality assurance in place for service and product peddlers. Thus, remember, no matter what you buy, sell, or trade, whether it be a good or service, try to conduct it the most legitly you can. In the long run, you will be helping your business more than you can know and doing your part to globally protect us all.

as to you helensilk,maybe you are right.
but i donot agree on you point.
you can buy 2 goods made in china with $10 but only one made in usa.
yes that is right.
but have you compare the two goods,whether the quality of which are goods or have some difference.this is a problem.
the reason why the usa buy more goods from china is that goods from china are cheap.
i think it is not the living quality are lower now in usa.

In absolute terms, the answer is "yes". Americans don't have a natural dependence on Chinese products in their genes. Though the question is, "at what social cost?"

If we suppose - just hypothetically - that the US would ban all imports from China, we would see an incredible number of unexpected side effects and consequences.

You could almost say that the present consumerist US economy depends on cheap imports, not only from China. Any change in the flow of goods and services from these countries would cause a readjustment in their economy, and the consequences would be catastrophic.

They have opened the flood gates, and closing them against the current won't be easy, if possible at all, under relatively "acceptable" conditions.

So, to answer once more your question "Can the US live without Chinese products?", the answer would be preceded by the question, "what do you call 'live'?"

Yes I believe the US can survive with out China but the real question should be can Wal-Mart survive with out China?

Rright, that's a more practical question.

Replying to [Admin]:
