Or, we could bring back what we used to have before the globalists took over circa 1970 and the standard of living here stopped growing: tariffs.
Although, I suppose throwing the globalists out to do that would probably require an armed revolution too.
What you suggest is, fundamentally, stop consuming chinese products. Higher duty means it's more expensive so less people will buy.
The biggest problem is that the US were stupid enough to move all the industry to China and collect money on royalties and copyright (which is why the US politicians write more and more laws to make copyright stronger but that's for another story). It did seem like a good idea at the time to make money on IP and offshore al the production, most economists during the 90s endorsed that move and many companies followed that road. Ford and Honda produce a lot of cars in Mexico for the US, I guess Nike has a marketing and R&D dept. on the US but not a single factory. There are many examples. I was in NY last year and I could not find any clothing made in the US, most were from Egypt, China, Vietnam, and others where minimum wage is likely under 300USD (probably even less). For the reasons above you can't just tax every import from China and hope it will be ok, because (1) China would bitch about it to the WTO (2) it would simply cause inflation because there is no industry in the country to supply the demand.
I hope this wasn't too confuse (english isn't my first language)
