Yeah, and who's going to make all your stuff for dirt cheap? Do you have any idea how hard the economy relies on China to be be competitive, even more to survive.

The thing is you probably could shop around and buy things made elsewhere but:

1) Chinese made things are convenient. 2) Chinese made goods are competitively priced. 3) Chinese made goods are readily available. 4) China makes other things too, such as materials, medical supplies, vaccines...

Probably 98% of the items in your house come from China either directly all indirectly.

That's the short term impact. On the long term, both side might get stronger by becoming more independent

This is assuming you can survive the short term impact, that impact would be no joke.
