Typically I avoid chicom products but I gave in today and bought a bag of cheap Old Roy puppy chow at Walmart.

Not for the dog but for the flock of turkeys that have adopted our bird feeder. We’re being eaten out of house and home.

Hopefully they’ll like it and I can cut back on the more expensive seeds.

When your Social Credit Score goes up x number of points for buying your own, shitty, knockoff brands, I'm sure I could get a poll in the affirmative, who would blow a Chinese hog in heat and let it ejaculate in your face, to raise "Dear Leaders" social score.

And I’d guess the Chinese government has spies that make note of their citizens who would dare to buy imperialist American goods.

Lol...then they’ll be stuck with chinese made crap, which even they know is crap.

Don’t know if it has changed but a few years ago many Chinese with money would fly to Japan, load up with Japanese made products and fly back home.

I do not knowingly buy anything from China and haven’t for many years.

"Knowingly". I hope you don't need medicine and health items. Per recent news articles:

“China is the largest global supplier of the active ingredients and chemical building blocks needed to make many prescription drugs, over the counter products and vitamins.”

People speculate that cross-contamination may be resulting from Chinese-supplied drugs and vitamins.

They better say it, or their so called ‘Social Credit Rating’ will go down and stay down.

I am not sure I can do much, but I will be looking into this. My list of meds would choke a horse.

Blame Bill Clinton, in the last year of his presidency he signed legislation permitting China to take over the drug industry. Before that, the U.S.A. and Japan controlled most of it. Shortly after Clinton's move, China controlled over 80 percent by undercutting other countries. Both China and India control more than 90 percent of medical drugs to the world. Supposedly, one can buy from India, but India gets most of their source ingredients from China; net effect is that China controls the world's drug supply. The FDA has two inspectors for all of China, and China won't allow them to inspect their facilities; FDA was created to oversee drugs made in the U.S.A., not overseas. If we had hostilities with China, they could create havoc in our country by shutting down all drug supplies (you name it, they control it).

Fine with me. You want to be herded like cattle, told how many kids to have, get your organs harvested if you think the wrong thoughts? Go for it, idiots. Freedom isn’t free. Keep polishing your master’s boots.
