Firstly, no they haven't. US trade with China has only ever increased year-over-year going back to the 1960s.
Secondly, our hunger for cheap labor is sending us to penal colonies across the rest of the Pacific Rim. This isn't something that began or ended with a single factory in a single country.
They're not. The business is just being laundered through front companies.
Shoving thumbs in my ears and saying "I don't see the non-compliance, its all fine actually!" and letting the provisions go completely unenforced.
And that's before you get into direct sales through Ali Baba and Temu
Again, I agree, but my comment was about automobiles. You have the habit of misrepresenting my point.

As for other consumer goods, Biden has expanded Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 to include more imports.

Tariffs aren’t great solutions, but the only alternative would be outright banning. The latter would have a sudden and financially profound impact on American consumers.
That's not "pulling out of China". That's a sign of Chinese domestic automobile consumption rising.
I haven't seen much to suggest he's enforcing it. These laws are consistently toothless, in the same way more and more of our regulatory system is toothless.
