I bought a little mini watermelon that said from China years ago but it wasn't very good.  But it was at this time of year before they were in season. 

For some items I think the components can be made in the USA and sent to China but the actual item made in China and shipped back to the USA  and the other way around components made in China and the item made in the USA.

I think it would really be more like someone cuts themselves on a cardboard box and the box is shipped instead of destroyed.

Yikes! If China stops shipping to the US, Walmart and the Dollar Tree will be completely empty!

It's not just Wal mart and dollar stores.  Just about every clothing, shoe and drug stores. Not to mention furniture. This virus points out how inextricably we're bound to the rest of the world.

@lovesrecess and Target, and Costco, BJ's, Sam's Club, QVC, HSN, ShopHQ, Apple store, etc. See my point? If you think China only supplies items to Walmart and the Dollar Store you are sorely mistaken.

Now that looks familiar, I think I may have asked you that question before.  Where is Show Low?
