I want you to explain the economic paradigm that compels India to buy more expensive American goods over Chinese products as they are currently accustomed.
Its been stated and noted that some of those policies are being reversed and dismantled. Not sure which, but I'm pretty sure enough.

The issue with tariffs are that certain commodities can no longer be manufactured here due to various regulations which I don't see being reversed. The industry that I am in has pretty much zero chance of being made here due to the EPA.

The EPA barriers are being addressed as we speak. The new head of the EPA has a very specific mandate. Reining in the EPA to it's original intent.
Big things brother, because thats whats going to happen. Thats why I say, crying and moaning isn't going to help.

So I'm anti-American for not wanting us to have skyrocketing prices, catastrophic export losses, and supply shortages? Do you even understand what exports are? When those American companies you claim to support are trying to sell their products overseas, one of the biggest markets they go to is China. I fail to see how it's "pro-American" to want our exporters to lose business because they're blocked off from one of their biggest customers.
Also, I fail to see how it's "pro-American" to want supply shortages & shortages of consumer goods here. Not only is that Wal-Mart that you keep mocking an American company, but it's literally the largest private employer in America. But I guess it's anti-American to not want the 1.5 million Americans employed by Wal-Mart to lose their jobs because their employer can't stock its shelves? (facepalm)
But whatever. It's a waste of time talking to you.
And a non reader. Re read my post.

That was a non-answer. Why do Indians want to pay more for American goods over Chinese goods? Explain why they will disregard one of the simplest of economic principals.
..and you fail to see how cutting trade with china will increase prices everywhere.

Your post does not explain why consumers will suddenly opt to pay more for goods in defiance of one of the strongest of all economic paradigms. I'd ask you again to explain it but you obviously cannot.
lol, keep dreaming.

And don't forget the shipping. They can receive more expensive products shipped in from the other side of the planet, or they can receive cheaper products from their neighbor and receive the products quicker & with lower shipping insurance costs. Hmmm...

Cuz, this thread is a circle jerk, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
They just want to hear how much ass America would kick if it comes to blows with China.
Here's a hint everyone, we all lose.

Literally ignoring the fact that stopping trade will cause disruptions on the global market, beyond even the simplist of global macro and micro economics.
Anyways, you're done.
