This sounds like a shit show honestly. This could be really bad and cause buyers to go elsewhere leaving us holding the bag.
Shipping carriers rejected tons of U.S. agricultural exports, opting to send empty containers to China
Shipping carriers rejected U.S. agricultural exports in October and November, instead sending containers to be filled with more profitable Chinese exports.
Correct. They are ahead of us because labor is so much cheaper and they could care less about the environment and just pollute like crazy.

Yes, but it is also the American consumer way. If we would stop buying the Chinese products or at the very least make a concerted effort to cut way back we would be doing the "right" thing.
Sorry I am tired of that BS Lie its all our fault crap. The people who own the businesses shipped there junk to China to be made. Don't believe me why are cars ans trucks made in Canadian and Mexico? The greedy owners wanted cheap labor. And we are paying for it. Please look into it we did not demand cheap shit they demended larger profits and got it. Stop believing the lie!!!!! Corporate America sold us out!
And you keep right on buying the "made in China" products allowing the greedy businesses to continue reaping large profits.
While I understand where you are coming from but it’s not the farmers paying for the containers and the containers are going back empty. Why return empty containers? Seems stupid to me.
So what? Compete or die. Other businesses don't owe farmers anything just because they are from the USA.
Then if it's not worth it then they go out of business, that's the breaks. It's not up to the govt. to make sure businesses stay viable, that's on each business. We aren't still mass producing buggies anymore because we have cars, sucks if you make buggies, but that's just the way it goes.
If everything you can purchase is made in Chy-na, then how is it the fault of the US people as we were forced with no other options?
You likely won’t be saying all that if this gets bad enough. That’s fine you can be big man on campus now and say so what, tough breaks, compete or die.
Because given a choice between 2 products, one made in china and one here, most people will but the chinese one if it's even just 10% cheaper.
I agree with you, BUT the consumer has little choice since stores with reasonable prices only stock China stuff. Finding something made in USA is near impossible.
Sorry you are not going to convince me American consumers are the problem. You need to check back 30 years ago. Where did all those jobs go? The whole world when I was a kid wanted a made in America sticker on there products. Because it was the best in the world. Who took the factories away? Did the entire work force just quit. Do your research I saw and know what happened. Your theory is plausible but not what happened. Just for the record I own my own Business since 2006. The supplies and materials are all American or American manufacturer made products. It cost me more and our clients don't mind paying a little extra because they are the ones who benefit. It is not impossible to buy and support American made products. You want to buy cheap go ahead. I will spend more to get a better bang for the buck. To each there own. We did not buy are way into China. The government opened up avenues to do business with them back in the 60's. Then big business got into getting bigger. They paid there way into politics regulated the shit out of manufacturers and forced many to shut there doors. With that came less jobs making people poorer. Ever see a car made in the 60's thousands of people's Doing the work. Go to an auto plant today hundreds of robots and automated machines and a couple hundred people. The greedy super wealthy made this country get poorer. Not the other way around.
Who gets more for their money an American buying chinese products, Or the manufacturer paying pennies on the dollar for Chinease labor?
Just so you all know there is a made in America store in western ny. The guy is a great guy. He owns a welding fab shop and is an FFL. I’ve met him at his main store in Elma and he was the nicest guy. I didn’t k ow he was the owner until the store clerk told me. He never brought it up. I respect that.
Sorry this was ment for spat

You present a false premise. Not ALL consumer goods are made in China. Yes, a huge number are. Have I reduced my made in China purchases to zero? You know the obvious answer to that! Especially if you consider components used in a completed product. However, I have made a huge dent in what I use that has a China origin. I am getting along just fine with the large reduction I have made in purchasing goods from China. One interesting thing I have noticed is the quality of some of the items. I am not saying that all items made in the USA are of higher quality. However, there definitely is evidence that some are of higher quality. Also, I am not advocating to buy USA only. I purchase items made outside the USA, just not items made in China. i.e a very good quality and efficient oil filter I use for my truck is made in South Korea. I bought several a couple of weeks ago.
I will agree that it can be difficult and at an increased cost. But not impossible. Also, I am not advocating buying products made solely in the USA. See post above.
I agree with SOME of what you present. However, we do not have to simply bend over and take it with a smile. Seems like the majority in our society just simply accept it. I have said this before on his this forum, I think a part of the problem stems from evolving towards a " me & I as opposed to a we & us" society.
What kind of products can I buy there? I will add him to my list of places to buy.
They are kind of an all in one shop. They have everything from canned foods, Tupperware, grills, fire pits, guns, ammo and everything in between. The one off the 400 in Elma NY is the main flagship store and his welding fab shop is across the street.

Why does it matter who gets the better end of the deal ? Both parties agreed to it.
