Americans will never pay $5,000 for a flat screen TV ... just because it's made in Cleveland, Ohio !!! US needs to negotiate a royalty stream payments from China for the IP - tech that has been copied / stolen from the US ... rather than tariffs paid by US consumers.

Our trade deficit with China was over $400 billion in 2018. Over $ 1,000,000,000.00 a day leaving our economy for the communist regime. Obviously not sustainable. This has been the first attempt by any administration to level the playing field.
