I vaguely remember doing some research to find out what would happen if the US boycotted Chinese products and I found that the US would lose up to 30% of their GDP.
The west can't do shit. Not without fucking themselves in the process.
The TV show later did a test: Clear all the China-made products from a Japanese household. Four hours later, 619 pieces of Chinese products were removed, and even the clothes of the house owner had to be taken off.
As a matter of fact, Japanese not only need Chinese products when they are alive, but also after their death – over 90% of the coffins sold in Japan are made in China.
