I’m specifically responding to a post that links an article about christmas toy shortages. I know China makes some incredible technology. But it also makes a lot of cheap crap nobody needs. Can we at least agree on banning that?

No (why? what's the actual problem with having cheap crap nobody needs?). But I'd at least agree with something like a carbon tax to target the environmental externalities of the type of commerce you're talking about.
