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.
But, imo, it's our own damn fault for getting sucked in to cheap stuff. It's time for american consumers to
just say no to chinese made goods. But then, we'd have to be willing to pay more.

Paying more is fine with me!! Especially since American-made is far superior to the junk China produces!!
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.
I agree completely.
It’s not exactly “a free market” when you’re using laborers with no rights.
Americans were told about the virus and REFUSED to avoid getting it....so they blame the Chinese...do you know how pathetic that sounds.
I agree with you to a point. Americans hate change and refuse to even consider it until crisis time. That is a fact.
China isn't innocent. They kn ew they had real problems and under reported it. They also allowed their citizens to travel out of the country for Chinese New Year. Millions of Chinese many of whom were infected traveled and spread the disease. China absolutely owns that.
The blame? China owns a great deal of responsibility here. That said this pandemic was predicted decades ago. Large cities went through the motions of preparing, at best. NYC? A dismal failure in leadership both during this crisis and the last few decades.
Much like with 911, Bush got the blame. We knew that terrorists using airplanes as weapons was a very real threat, and we knew for decades. WE waited until we were hurt before we increased Airport security. Even now you have people crying about the inconvenience.
Individuals. All Americans had biology class in school. Due to past virus outbreaks we have all been told how to reduce our risks. Most Americans shrugged and said "I'll be alright." City dwellers are absolutely at greater risk and waited until the numbers became alarming before considering change.
NYC allowed buses in and out of the city long after they realized the city had an epidemic. We can't blame China or Trump for that.

Alabama refused any stay home until this Saturday. Florida allowed spring breakers.......blah blah blah blah.
Americans all over the country refused to take the virus seriously.
Our government chose to shut down the economy and now 10 million people have lost their jobs. Whether it was the right thing or wrong thing to do, is debatable, but the cost was 10 million jobs either way. The job losses will continue as long as the government strangle hold continues.
You can find others to blame if it makes you feel better.
The individual state governors shut down their respective economies.
But if it makes you feel better, blame Trump for everything.
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.
China's oppressive government concealed this and retaliated against those who attempted to bring awareness to it. They utterly failed at addressing the initial outbreak, when it could have been prevented from spreading beyond their borders if appropriate actions were taken.
