When I typed in that subject lots came up.

But the bottom line is every single thing I receive from QVC, HSN, Amazon, you name it is made in China.

It's a kinda fun (but not really) thing I do when I receive anything.  When walking in stores, I read the labels...

MADE IN CHINA.  MADE IN CHINA.

It's just unbelievable people!

Imagine a country, USA, giving most of its manufacturing to another country...let alone one that doesn't like us. Then allowing China to place 25% and 15% tariffs on everything American companies has manufactured by them.  

Yes, it is unbelievable!

So what's your point?

Walmart, the company that had been most guilty at one time, the one that initially prided itself on Made in USA, is breaking out of the pack.  They are slowly having their products made in other countries and training entrepreneurs to start up companies in the U.S.

I will be so happy to see the Made in USA label again.

@Foxxee And yet people get upset when we try to do the same...

Since when is ‘Made in China’ on all items a surprise?

[qbetzforreal]

How is it unbelievable?  Companies manufacture in China and other countries because it is cheaper.  Is this a thread designed to get people riled up?  Looks like it to me.  I call shenanigans.

I agree with you, a little.  We made a mistake letting our manufacturing base get away from us (but that isn't going to change anytime soon).  We are losing our place in the world's hierarchy but the Chinese aren't to blame.

Valerie P-H's beautiful holiday trinkets we gobble up each and every year ....mostly from China.  Temp-tations we gobble up monthly.....from China. 

Who should we blame?   Them or us for buying?

I'm as guilty as the next person......so it's just a matter of fact.  Low wages in China - lower prices to us.

I see posters complaining on these forums all the time about high prices on merchandise and clothing on QVC. Then complain about it not being made in America. Prices then will be higher. So pick one or the other.
