    I have personally ordered heavier machines from China and I have had nothing but positive experiences.

    For example a pallet jack, electric. A toyota one is easily over 10,000 and I am sure they are very reliable. But I can get a capable 1.5 ton pallet jack from china for 1,100 that I have had zero issues out of except for a piece that was cosmetically damaged during shipping. I can’t say that they are comparable in quality as I’ve only had it for around a year but I’ve also had zero issues out of it. And for a 1/10 of the price it has excellent welds, great battery, great safety measures.

    America was beaten long ago in manufacturing and now the average American is realizing that and is buying from China. So of course America has to shut that off.

    I hope China will find a way around these tariffs but it’s beginning to look unlikely.

    P.S.

    Farming equipment as well is very cheaply produced in China, most wrap for hay come from China already. China makes excellent tractors big and small.

    The only reason Chinese farm equipment isn’t huge is because America subsidizes farmers so much.
