We should just stop buying crappola from China and make our own crappola at home from now on... How exactly has buying cheap junk from overseas improved our lives here? Some of the junk is fun to have but so much is really useless. If you think it's useless, don't buy it. What you find useless may be useful to someone else; what you think is useful might seem completely useless to someone else. If you plan on telling other people what they should or shouldn't buy, or if you want the government to tell people what they can or can't buy, expect people to object. Besides, Chinese people need work too, and trade does more to reduce poverty than aid ever has. China's emergence as a trade based status quo power with an interdependent economy is very much in the long term interests of the US.
