Bullshit propaganda to keep the 1% prospering or would our withdrawal from China really equal our own economic destruction?
I'm not baiting, I was really hoping to hear from people who have read it. I was initially discouraged, but the more I thought about it I realized it was probably propaganda. It essentially said that should we take any action, whatsoever, to bring manufacturing home - China would mutually ensure our economic destruction.

I haven't read it but the fact that they would threaten as much shows just how much they've profited from our outsourcing to their country. And to think they said ten years ago they didn't need the United States to prosper. They must be making a ton of cash off us. It's a shame we let things get this bad.
I think that was a threat to the American people, and not just from the Chinese. And hey, at least we're doing something about it now.
Agreed. I say let's go for it despite any threats and see just how it plays out. I'm all for starting to buy US-made again, when possible. That's one of many changes I'll be making.
