Senator Rick Scott: American consumers must stop buying Chinese products

Senator Rick Scott , and former Florida governor, joins "Squawk Box" to discuss the latest on the U.S.-China trade fight.

Here’s how china “steals” our technology. If a company wants to do business or set up shop in China, they basically have to form joint ventures with local Chinese companies and share their technology if they want access to the Chinese market. I wouldn’t call that stealing. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Chinese people like American brands and products. Many American companies have dominating position in China and all together American companies have a $400 billion domestic revenue in China. Just a bit info.

Then build more factories in US and robotize them.

YES!!! I've been saying this for awhile; just stop buying Chinese-made crap and stop buying products from American companies who produce their products in China. China only gets it when it hits them in their pocketbook--they never play by the rules and the entire world knows it!

So stop buying $APPL iPhone? tradewar tariffs

The Chinese are their own universe. They're 5 times bigger than the U.S., and 100% unified. They don't gotta listen to nuthin' you say. We are like a cat attacking a German Shepard. Once in a while, we get lucky, but ultimately they know they can win.

Americans aren't going to stop buying Chinese goods. This is a political talking point.

Finally. They have been our enemy for over 25 years.

Try and buy a coffee maker.. US made Bunn ..entry level $119 China made Mr Coffee $39 When a 2BR apt rents in my town for $2200/ month and to afford rent you need to make $27/ hr...not many companies paying this wage. Stuck on the math...

Allow Walmart, Target and Amazon to put every small American manufacturing company out of business with cheap Chinese products, then tell us to buy American? 🤔

I love how hard it is for these host to grasp the truth.

lol, like it or not, China will dominate the world in the future.

Says the guy who almost bankrupt HCA!!!

Talk is easier than done!

Rick Scott is a jerk , he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, he’s a parrot for Donald J Trump!

US just can no longer compete. Products are lousy and overpriced.

Wow...some of you guys

I agree so much. No more MAGA stuff. No more trips to Walmart or Target. Damn, Im so relieved

Rick Scott is a CROOK

he's not wrong you know. buying american costs more and it's worth it.

It's just so sad . American corporations are the blame . they moved production there. China didn't arm twist them either ! they wanted slave labor !

So shut down Walmart and Target?

Way to screw up Trump's China trade deal Rick Scott. Not a brain in his body.

...I'm starting to think that it isn't just China that wants to annihilate the U.S. Trump seems to want it too.
