The US populace depends so heavily on inexpensive goods (even tools) made in China. Cutting out China would create short term hardship for most normal people.

Yeah I think it is orchestrated showmanship. They (via the media) are drumming up the threat about China installing spyware in electronics (phones, cars, tiktok) sold to the US.

This is painting China as the bad guys to distract from the real threat posed by those controlling the US government who are changing (breaking) the laws that protect privacy and protection from unreasonable search and seizure.
