The idea that only Americans can buy the plastic shit made in China is patently absurd.
It's a market, a big market, an important market for sure. But if it was gone overnight, every other economy will adapt. Some companies will go bankrupt for sure, but that's actually how capitalism is supposed to work. Over time, resources will find an alternative use.
It's ironic that Westerners have forgotten how capitalism works.
