No buying something from the UK that is not mass produced is far better though.It can be done for alot of items we use.There may still be some link to China in one way shape or form but the final product made here

Trouble is they would only buy a couple then copy them and sell them back to us cheaper,

The thing that makes me laugh is you not reading the post properly

A That was never suggested, GOING FORWARD I would prefer to buy non chinese
B im pleased you have found humour in the pandemic, deaths and failed business.
C Again, that was not mentioned or implied,

I have always had a dislike for the lack of ethics, morality and general attitude of china.
The disrespect they show wildlife is horrific
Powdered tiger penis, live pangolins etc
I, and many others clearly, would PREFER to not use anything from China
FROM NOW ON

Much to the annoyance of his allies also. Military presence gains you influence in area's. When Uncle Trump moves the troops out, the Russian, Iranian, Chinese and religious zealots "influencers" move in. Upto you if you think that's a good thing.

You do what you feel you have to. I prefer not to tar 1.4 billion people with the same brush.

Saying I found humor in the pandemic, deaths and failed businesses is clearly not the case and offensive, as is your xenophobia.

Maybe trump doesn't want the American tax payer paying to police the world.

How do you expect people to feel,people are losing loved ones all over the world.Whether you like it or not it started in China and they lied about it.How it started,when it started and did nothing to contain it and warn the rest of the world.The doctor that did speak up,well we all know what happened to him

His prerogative and the Americans who voted for him. If they don't want to lead fair enough, go into splendid isolation again. Vacuums don't last long though.

I'm not sure perhaps they do?
We're not going to be able to 100% avoid buying from China but we could cut it down to a minimum if that's what we decide is the best thing to do.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
