We need a foolproof way to determine if an item advertised online is manufactured in or shipped from China.
For the second time this month, I've ordered an item online after doing what I thought was due diligence to avoid buying Chinese-manufactured or Chinese-shipped goods. One ad actually said the item (seeds) were coming from Australia.
Nope, they both came via "China Post".
This is something I think would be an appropriate use of government assistance.
A product may be assembled somewhere other than China but still contain CCP parts. Logitech trackballs used to use high quality Japanese made microswitches for the left and right click buttons, now they use cheap Chinese knock offs. How could I know that without examining ever product in minute detail. Yep, the federal government sure did fuck us all over pretty hard while giving the store to China.
Yup. New exploitable phrases: "designed in the U.S." and "assembled in the U.S."
