Plam Bay, Florida, is trying their best to avoid Chinese products. The mayor of the self-proclaimed "blue collar" town issued an ordinance that bans all Chinese products, with the exception of those that costs less than $50, has no subsitutes, and is more than 50% made in China. No other city in the US has attempted this, but of course there's the on-going boycott of Cuban goods (think of good cigars) in America, so this isn't new.
Fact: low cost Chinese goods have saved American consumers some $600 billion in the last decade, and prices have fallen on products where China is the top exporter. Jijun Fu, director for government relations and media, said: "Chinese products have a reduced cost for the American customer. They will suffer from this ordinance."
