>If it wasn’t China, the US would be importing goods from elsewhere.
I don't see the problem. USA has practically no leverage in the trade relationships with China. They can't change China for the better. So cutting China off is a net benefit even if other countries will take its role. That also means USA can now trade with countries that actually respect American laws and do in fact share American values like democracy or human rights.
This idea that we must sell our soul for a small profit must die.
