    Obvious economic and ethical reasons aside, reducing our dependency on Chinese goods will be a huge benefit for mitigating climate change. The carbon cost of poorly regulated manufacture, as well as shipping such large volumes of commercial products around the planet is tremendous.

      I wonder if this will have a bonus result of reducing Chinese counterfeit items on eBay and Amazon.

        Maybe. That’s one of the economic motives I mentioned. China follows the principle of territoriality in IP protection, leading to outright infringement in every industry. When a product line has completed manufacture, the factory will make some modifications to material quality and begin producing counterfeits around copyright to flood the market and eventually dilute and undercut the original manufacturer’s product line out of business.

        Easy way to help with that is to not use Amazon.

      Well, maybe not the tariffs on EVs and solar panels.

        That would be true if domestic sales were waning due to constraint.

    Temu has gone bankrupt overnight.
