Made In China Mania! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Recently, I was checking supplies in my apartment to see where a lot of stuff is made. A lot of items I checked were made in China. Why is it that when our country is lacking jobs, all this stuff we have is being made overseas? I have no doubt that this stuff is made in some sweat shop at the exploitation of chinese kids. I was at an expensive shoe store last spring and the majority of these shoes were made in Brazil, Vietnam, and China. These shoes ran from $40 to $80. These shoes were also name brand like Nike and Adidas. A neighbor of mine that used to live near me served in the Vietnam War. He said he will never buy anything made in Vietnam because it is a disgrace to our country. I have noticed over the years that half the stuff made overseas is junk. I watched an episode of Step By Step recently that kind of tied into this. Frank bought a camcorder from some guy because he said he did not want to pay $500 for a camcorder in a retail store and it would only be worth 23 cents over in China.

I know someone at my church who will only buy stuff in America.

I won't shop at Wal-Mart since most of their stuff is made in China. (I'd like to find a way to get stuff made in Brazil, Korea, or American).

We have become global now, so you are going to end up buying something that was not made in the USA.
