Seems dang near everything you buy these days is made in China. Everyday products commonly bought at wal mart or other box stores is made in China and its all just junk, throw away cheap crap. So is there anything made in China that is quality? Makes me wonder if everything they produce is junk, what's the quality of their military equipment?

That's why I wish Walmart would close more stores. A new Walmart inviteslow income and ruin everything.

Your phone and computer as well. I don’t like it either but we can not compete with our labor, unions, min wages, etc.

Sadly the packaging is often better then the product inside


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

If we quit buying it, they'll quit making it. Not likely though.

Its been primarily Chinese made goods here for about 30 years. Taiwan and Japan before that. I saw some labels on clothes that I have no idea where that country is LOL. I try to stay away from it as much as I can.

I once bought a faux crystal (glass) ashtray at a dollar store. On the bottom there was a sticker that says ' made in KSA'

I'm like what/where is KSA ?

Looked it up ,

Kingdom
Saudi
Arabia

Makes sense. Plenty of sand there , and bunch of oil to melt the sand into glass.

We all complain about crap from China. As a kid I remember my father. Complain about Japanese crap, My dad worked 42 years for Trane and I remember when they move some production to Kentucky to save on labor. They also were dealing in Japan too.
When lacrosse Foot Wear left and went to China. It was the upper level powers to be that decided that. Wasn't all the employees they let go. Big business moved production to China saying they needed to be competitive. Is funny how Foot Wear bought up a bunch of different competitors before they made that move.
But it was labors Unios fault? I think not. Just corporate greed. They give spit about Americans as long as they can sell them something.

A couple of years ago I bought a Skillsaw mag 7 worm drive circular saw .... Its the saw that has build more houses than any other in this country. And yep its made in china I found out later. Built on the same production line as its Bosh counterpart. A good quality saw for sure , but unfortunately made in China.

I seen some old smuggled video from a chinese prison gulag where the inmates were used for tannery work at a leather glove operation at the prison.
There were huge array of cement vats full of chrome tan,and the workers were submerged all day in the vats working the hides with their feet,(like a bunch of old italians stomping grapes for making wine).
These same chinese gulags apparently harvest organs from deceased inmates,especially the ones executed.
It wouldnt surprize me if the poor buggers that were steeped in the tanning vats for years had their own hides turned into cheap workgloves when they kicked the bucket.

Simple solution don't by goods from China. Pony up and pay 3 x as much for American goods.

They'll last you three times as long and you'll be wearing quality.
