Well you can't blame people and companies for looking out for their bottom dollar. China is basically the world's manufacturing center. Cheap labor. I mean that's just obvious I don't need to say that.

It might not always be that way. I remember about 10 years ago or so they were saying Africa was going to be the next manufacturing center and source of cheap labor. I'm not sure that'll ever happen.

The United States still manufactures a lot of stuff though. Some people will pay for higher quality and a stamp that says made in the USA on it. Or made in England or made in Canada or made in Germany. I know I do.

But when it comes to everyday items that really don't matter much, I don't want to spend top dollar. Like just basic household goods or t-shirts or whatever. I don't mind that China makes a lot of stuff.

China doesn't have much of an internal consumer market. That's what I'm thinking. I'm not sure that the workers there are being elevated into a middle class status. I know there's a lot of rich people in China but there are way more poor people. I'm not sure if they will ever have their own consumer base that could support their manufacturing if it weren't for the outside world buying all of China stuff.

Greed has seen to that..but these woke youth have zero issues camping out overnight to insure the purchase of their latest widget they cannot live without regardless of the fact it was manufactured under conditions they themselves would not work under..nor would they be willing to pay double if was assembled by union workers in the US.

Hypocrites and fakes - all of them

Double?? I would say double the double.

Is it really their fault when they are brainwashed by advertising?

Cheap labor = slave labor

It allows us all to buy the most junk we truly do not need

For national security all necessary items should be manufactured in the United States..but are not for greed

China has us by the balls and they know it

Beside personal freedom and thought?

To get locked up / welded into your living quarters?

Leaders around the globe are giddy when they dream of having the control commie china has over its minions

If you can't describe it in dollars, yen, or creature comforts the correct response should probably be 'I don't know.'
