"I hate China for its human rights issues, slave and forced labor, aggressiveness, dumping plastics into the open oceans, unfettered environmental issues, and dumping junk into our markets at a loss to undercut US manufacturers."

Wow!
Do you realise, that what you "hate" is, in a broad sense, pretty much what every "great power" (including the USA) has done/is doing, since at least the the Roman Empire, if not before????
I do not support/condone this behaviour, just suggest that its not exclusive to the Chinese
