Not saying it's easy, but that's kind of the result of years of reliance on cheap labour and manufacturing from China. It's going to be a real hard sell to wean the West off of cheap merchandise that they're used to. China played the long game, and they've now put the West in a hard place because of it.

We have to hit their pocketbooks? We are the pocketbook. Our links to China have been bought and paid for, was an exchange for democracy that never happened. At this point it would be self-inflicted wounds. As was stated above, people can't even wear masks, how can they give up their material ways?
