Replying to [Admin]:YES - the USA can survive

Replying to [Firo]:

I absolutely agree. Many of the members here say that the U.S. can survive. Of course they can "survive", but why live in depression and in poverty? Both countries are co-dependent on each other. As long as the U.S. currency is fiat, the country will be alright.

Whoever suggested that the U.S. would ban imports obviously lives under a rock. That would be suicide.

Replying to [Admin]: The task looks bit difficult but certainly not impossible.

Either US has to be independent or they have to develop other countries in Asia or Africa.

Thus their dependency on China will be on lower side in comparison with existing dependency status.

Replying to [Admin]:I believe it is possible, but the living standards of the US will go down because everything will cost more money if US decided not to trade with China.

Replying to [Admin]: I do believe today is a time of compromise.
"who lives without who or don't" is an old version. Sure, USA can live but at what costs? And do the general public can accept or not in the USA? Rich US citizens will have no problem, but the majority parts of the poor,can these poor people be ignored in the States?
This can apply to all countries, not just pointing to China products.

Replying to [Admin]:Economic experts predict that this recent trade surge (notably in the third and fourth quarters of 2007) are only the very beginning of a long climb that could eradicate a major portion of trade deficits; regardless of rising oil imports, exports are three times larger than residential construction as a share of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Quoting from [Admin]:

Americans are buying more and more Made in China products, showing an increasing dependence on China.


Sara Bongiorni, author of "A Year Without Made in China" finds it nearly impossible to buy a product not from China. She finds that buying US products, instead of Chinese, can be around seven times as expensive! If imports from China were to be banned in the USA, the low and middle-income families of America would be severely affected.

What do you think?  Would you like to share your opinion with us?

My answer is NO. AS well- known the globalization is the trend. China has played more and more important  role in the bussiness trade. And MIC products  have become  popular in the world markect ,of course ,there is no exceptiion to the USA. Not only  because of the competitive price and the cheaper  labour rescourse, but also the essense  culture of  China.  In my opinion , business trade  has  intricate relations  with the culture exchanges.

Dear Armila, this post can be moved/ copied to China forum. It is just a suggestion.

Replying to [Admin]:Seeing the topic,my first reaction is:why "Made in China"product is always a hot issue.Why should USA boycott chinese products?


Yes,USA can suvive without chinese product,there are cheaper products.because there is cheaper labour force in some other countries or areas.But the quality maybe is not as good.


Referring to the quality problem,I have to say American people are smart especially in business,disqualified products will not be popular in their country even if the price is low.


So,quality and price are not the reason for their boycott of chinese products .


Then,financial deficit?No,even without chinese products,there are products with lower cost entering into US market.Deficit is what globalization brings to them if american still insist on their high wage level.


So,my answer is: USA can survive without chinese products,but only survive not prosper.Chinese products are their advisable choice.

dont u think Sino-American relationship is symbiotic with America having more to gain?

It is not a simple question of "yes" or "no". I think countries are parasites, we are all connected together nowadays. On one hand, we are pursuing a win-win sitution, on the other hand the goverment of every contry always consider their own country's benifits. So think over!
