Because back in the 80s Reagan demolished our tariff system that protected the American economy and our ability to be self efficient. Why? Big business Republicans and some Liberals and their quest for profit. While people yell about gays, immigration, and lost white suburban girls the gap between the rich and poor grows and this article is proof that conservative economics have not been working. It is time to change the rules on these selfish profiteers and bring back tariffs.

Many items are manufactured in China, because of the cheap labour. People work long hours for very little pay in sweatshop factories, many of them being very young people.

Because people are STUPID enough to BUY it.
If people would get smart and PISSED OFF BY WHAT IS HAPPENING, they would quit buying it. The stuff would sit on the shelves, and the middle men who are getting FILTHY rich off cheap, sometimes, SLAVE LABOR would be ripping their hair out wondering what went wrong with their scheme.
Too many of the dollars people spent on CHINESE made products is getting turned into bombs and bullets and is being used to upgrade the Chinese military with high tech equipment. THAT will come back to haunt the entire world one day..
BETTER WAKE UP PEOPLE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE...

Because the U.S. government has further eroded the American middle class by granting that communist country most favorite nation trade status. Viet Nam is next.
