Been to Walmart lately? The vast majority of their items are made there. Bunch of junk if you ask me. They buy for pennies and sell for dollars, not to mention that they routinely put american manufacturers out of business and switch to a foreign suppliers. Great for Walmart, but at the expense of product quality loss of US jobs. How do they expect us to buy their products if we don't have jobs to earn money to purchase those products?

because, chinese language are prepared to artwork like an assembly line. workers who're making waiting the products are not any more conscious of what they are generating and the position it is going to be bought. And yet another element is piracy. they are greatest in volume at piracy marketplace. as a results of that they don't desire to make investments funds or R&D for that product. for this reason very last cost of manufacturing the product turns into so more cost-effective that what ever you want you'll get extra more cost-effective no matter if it truly is haiving tag of "Made In China". yet in incorrect way, they are loosing the believe also. no you probable can take the assure of the chinese language product's existence.

No, everything isn't made in China, but you are correct in your noticing that many things are made there and other places not US. Buissness outsource (send thier work overseas to be done by people over there) because it is more profitable because the people will work harder, for longer, for less $. It can't be stopped w/o major laws that have nearly no hope of ever passing.

It's a serious question, since even God seems to loose his job.
In Sunday school the priest teaches the children that it is God, who makes everything.
A boy jumps up, shouting out, "Not so, most things are made in China!"
Besides of this, I think there need to be serious considerations of how to solve the problem.
Prayers for all for a job!
Cordially,

Thank globalization and right-wing "free" market policies for this.
They are destroying the middle classes and replacing them with sweatshop workers in China or Indonesia, where they can exploit them and pay them 10-15 cents per hour.
Can it be stopped? Yes, it sure can. It all depends on us, the people, to stop electing these right-wing corporate lobbists into office, and replacing them with leaders that actually govern for all segments of society, and not just the richer ones.
Will we be able to stop them? I have no idea. There are many people that follow their leaders blindly and sheepishly, and they make me lose my faith in mankind.

I just had an egg roll and some kung pow chicken that I'm pretty sure weren't made there.
Also, the Chinese hadn't even HEARD of fortune cookies until the mid eighties. Totally an American invention.

Seems like it, doesn't it? Well, I admit China is like totally a major thing in our lives. I mean where would we be without the invention of fireworks in China? But thankfully also, not everything is.

Not everything is made there. I've seen things that said Made in Mexico, Made in Japan, Made in Canada, and the occasional Made in the USA (usually food).
