If Americans would stop buying Chinese made products then the Chinese would not have
the money to buy our movie theaters and production companies, office buildings, pork producing
companies, etc. They own a lot of the USA.
Maybe they can be seized to cover trillions of dollars awarded in liability lawsuits against China.
COVID-19 could have easily originated in the US. What song and dance would you be doing then?
Except that hasn't happened and this is from China. China is where many new diseases originate. It's not coincidence or accident.
And to point something out I have been dealing with for some time now as a forester: our native forests are being decimated by imports from China. Emerald ash borer alone has killed billions of our native trees. Now we imported something that kills us.
There's no reason either to allow the greed of corporate America to continue exploiting unfree people in China as the modern replacement for slavery either. It's simply wrong on so many grounds. Moreover, the capability of being self-sufficient as a nation is important to national security.

Yes, and thus China was the first victim and fought on the front line. It bought time for others and accumulated experience and data. (For example, Iran adopted China's treatment protocols.)
Many people lost jobs in China too. Not to mention many factories in China will have to close.
There never should have been a chord to begin with. We were more than capable of always making everything here. Private Sector Sociopath, nutjob businessmen are to blame for this at the core If it wasn't for them there would be no lives lost, millions of jobs gone (Less crime would happen because of it) and America slowly descending into a 3rd world hell-hole. You want to blame someone for ALL of America's problems. Look no further than corporate executives.
With less than 5 % of the world’s population the US consumes 35% of global resources.
The US does not have an adequate population to produce what it consumes.
So you :
A) Import Labor, and/or
B) Import Stuff
Conversely, you could reduce your consumption, thus downgrade your lifestyle. Given the US economy is substantially consumer based that’s a big ouch.
The 2009 Influenza pandemic that originated in Canada (pH1N1) killed 9,000 to 18,000 Americans according to the CDC.
You didn't bomb Canada, either.
Canada didn't lie and obfuscate, costing thousands more lives. You wouldn't be suing because the virus origonated there but in their gross if not criminal negligence in handling it.
China's economy will be far more damaged. I do expect Supply Chain Management to shift stuff from Asia to Mexico, and automate more to not need as many human hands to make mostly basic stuff.
China does deserve this.
