Replying to [Admin]: Products are products. please don't inflict on them too much nation characters. And the Market rules are not dictated by mankind, but by the order of Nature. it's not the certain country, not the certain government, not the certain leader, not the certain individual that will change the market.

copy from 333electron: .........the Chinese I deal with on Alibaba ...........they ........do not care about what they sell you.
the US should ........go back making quality products.
Replying to [333electron]: Why do you think Chinese market can survive in this competition World? Think about it for a while before continue reading my childish-might-be opinions. Different stages of developements have different needs. Different markets serve for their own special group of wants. Take bowls for example, there are durable ones---metal ones, at the same time there are fragile ones----porcelain ones. Why porcelain ones are most commonly used all over the world? because people don't use bowls to fight, and porcelain is good enough for daily use. it's the same with the different quality products-----which quality has a larger market is decided by if it is good enough for the consumers not by if it's best quality from someone's opionion.

Replying to [Admin]: So, right now the seeming dependence between the 2 country, is a coincidence, a phenomenon. and actually, if you move your focus to the whole international market and not just China and USA, you will find any country have a certain tie to each other.

The US can survive without China and they will move to other greener pastures. That will not be easy but not impossible task. Only thing, why should they do it when the Chinese products are cheaper by government support, cheaper labor and flexible pollution control etc. When the Made in China goods become dearer due to wages hike, export rebate cuts and more stringent rules, the Chinese should have a different strategy. It is better to plan it now, such as building own brands implying quality/value than being a contract manufacturer to American brands or small cheap non-brand seller.

Hello there,
I think the statement made here, hold truth. And not only the families will be effected, the middle to small scale business would die out, since people have gotten the habit of CHEAP.
The big companies would also suffer a tremendous lose of business, since majority of the production is highly dependent on parts from china to keep the cost low.
Further more, if you look at the USA, it may sound weird, but cannot self sustain it anymore.
If China and India are to stop supplying the USA, they will immediately have a depression going on, and would lose 40-60% of their consumer industry as well as the manufacture industry would lose severely. Almost every Citizen has debts of 10.000 US dollar on average on their head, with cost increasing on products, the poverty levels will increase, due to companies closing down, more jobless people, and because people buying power will be diminished over time, inflation will rise, decreasing property values, in turn hurting the banks, and in turn hurting the government and economy itself.
Yes, USA can overcome that depression, but how long will that take?? A very long time, since all the big companies who have shifted to Asian countries due to special economic zones and benefits, wouldn´t really want to come back to the USA, unless they get the subsidies better then what the have found in Asia.
USA would be in big JUJU(as jar jar binks would say, Star wars)
