Boycott Chinese Olympics? Nah, How About Boycotting Chinese-made Goods.

I'm perplexed why there's such consternation about the United States either boycotting the 2008 summer Olympic games or opening ceremonies in Beijing China, over China's human rights and other issues.

The simplest thing for U.S. consumers (ergo Voters...) to do is boycott items "Made in China", instead. 

Oh, wait. We can't; nearly everything imported to this country in recent years is made in China. So, good luck locating what you need/want that isn't sourced from China. 

U.S. voters need to elect government officials who'll revamp trade and tariff policies to benefit the U.S. instead of China. Afterward, China's most-favored nation status could then be repealed (they're Communist, remember; what was the Cold War really for, then?...). 

An argument could be made—after the poor-quality issues of many Chinese-made goods which have poisoned our animals, leached toxins to our children and dubious medicine's ingredients—that for an Communist country like China to attack the U.S. isn't by using their vast army, but instead kill the U.S population via our own conspicuous consumption by insidiously poisoning us though innocuous everyday consumer products they make and dump on our shores...
