First it's the dog food, then the toothpaste, then the lead in the paint on kid's toys, and now it's asbestos in the fingerprinting kit in the kid's CSI crime kit at Cosco.
Am I leaving anything out?

I thought it was time a long time ago. I have not intentionally bought anything made in China for 20 years. Some things have undoubtedly slipped by, but I do not see any reason to support a communist country such as China.

While economic pressure WOULD make them rethink their stance on North Korea. It's not doable. Much of what we import is from China, in order to put pressure upon them, we'd be hurting ourselves just as much, if not more. Plus it would damage the US's reputation even further, at a time when it's weakest, as there's not legal reason for sanctions upon China. If you, personally, wanted to proceed along this venue. Don't buy anything made in china. Which is an awful lot.

Since so much is imported from China, when things start breaking down, that item would not be replaced or fixed (replacement parts) if we stop importing from China. If we depend upon goods manufactured here in the US, expect a dramatic rise in the cost of such items.

Well if our government wasn't using them as a bank for the Iraq war. I definitely agree with you. Think of all the jobs that would be created if we could make those products here. Companies just don't want to pay the labor costs to hire American workers.

You clearly don't have a choice at this point. Just go to Walmart and look around. We have shuttered a lot of our US factories and infrastructure due to export of manufacturing processes. The US economy has entered a technology based economy which doesnt involve as much manufacturing, etc.

Quit buying Chineese goods on your own instead of waiting for some one else to do something

Yes. Also, as consumers, we can try not to purchase items that we know are made in China.
