When your out shopping, even if it’s a Wal-Mart or Amazon, see if you can purchase an item outside of ‘made in China’. I myself have a hard time shopping outside of these big box stores due to location and one thing I’ve learned, everything is becoming made in China. Items made in Finland or Vietnam, Israel, America, just a year or two ago, now made in China. We feed our enemy.
The way I see it, keep shopping those stores if you have to, just don’t buy that Chinese product. Search around, online or wherever. Let those shelves stay full and stack high of Chinese garbage. I even make post-its I stick to certain shelves at stores saying “is anything available that isn’t made in China”. Wake people up to this. It’s sad when looking for even a kitchen knife the first option, oh looks it’s from China, 2nd China, 3rd China “wtf”, 4th-5th-6th China!
I mean literally the entire Hobby Lobby store is China. I’ve brought this up to management at my nearest store, which is an hour away, and they completely agree. She even said the outside of the store should be labeled ‘Hobby Lobby, China products.’
Only way to fix this is the ripple effect. I’ve worked on just family members and yesterday I heard them complaining to others how bad the “made in China” stuff is to their friends. They’ve caught on. When you start to notice, it’s aggravating. We have been invaded, for awhile now. And if we keep feeding the beast, it will just get worse.
This is just a request, and my personal war and protest. Maybe others would like to help. Thx ?

I feel you. Everything is made there. Even companies that claim local ownership (and still use it as a marketing tactic) are owned by Chinese interests.
Nothing is made locally where I live. Engineering parts are the worst offenders. Machine screws, bearings, springs, connectors, electrical components, LiPo batteries, etc. All has to be bought online from China directly or from shitty niche resellers that just import it from China in bulk.
Any piece of technology you can buy probably has parts made in Shenzhen. It is so hard to compete with the Chinese because of the ecosystem they have there. You can hit the streets in Shenzhen and find anything you want in a day in any quantity.
I'd buy more shit from the U.S. if you wankers sorted out your units. Your fit and tolerance standards are munted.
