True, but speaking personally I do my absolute best to avoid buying anything Chinese, even if it means paying more. What I have found is that in the end I spend less since the American made product outlasts so it's money well spent.
1. I do not shop at Chinamart, AKA Walmart, EVER. They are the largest importer of Chinese goods in the USA.
2. I try to buy clothes that are made here.
3. I look at just about every label for a product I buy, food included, to make sure it's made here.
Sometimes it's unavoidable but I try my best.
