There was this old meme “On the internet, no one knows you are black”. It was a meme seen around black circles that they can avoid showing they are black & manipulate the narratives on forums. Did you ever notice you do not see “text-slang-speak” anywhere anymore? For some reason, this reminds me of it.
No disrespect to black people with personal agency & accountable personalities who are as American as the rest of us & know that race is not something that should divide America. I am not referring to you guys. I am referring to the racist black people, trans people & foreigners who use the veil of the screen to manipulate the country’s youth on reddit.
We won't because the reason there was a market for Chinese cheap stuff to begin with is the insatiable appetite of the American consumer for cheap and useless crap. That, and the economics 101 of comparative advantage. In this case, the argument should be with command economy labor market intervention and currency manipulation that artificially creates the comparative advantage. If China were a free market, wages among the Chinese middle class would be rising and erasing their comparative labor rate advantage.
In the meantime we've forsaken and abandoned all knowledge of manufacturing so much that the mention of bringing back manufacturing to the US on a large scale is laughable. We have a lot of back tracking to do in order to make that happen.
Even their echo chambers are waking up. Beautiful.

We could, you know, stop buying their stuff.
