Happy weekend, everyone. For this topic, I believe it's clear that importation isn't bad in itself. In fact, it encourages alternatives and varieties. However, a nation becoming too dependent on goods from other countries, especially the ones that can be locally produced is the problem. It's largely a fault of the government. Even themselves import more than the citizens, so it's impossible for everyone else not to follow suit.

I think regulation on imports on specific goods will help reduce over-dependence, as well as increase chances for more local competitors.
