We buy lots of stuff made by Chinese slaves. The only way to avoid it is not to buy ANYTHING made in China.

I do my best but there are a lot things, I find, that claim to be made in USA or other places that are made of Chinese materials.

I almost lost my boat a few years ago when a "Made in USA" wire rope stay came apart in a gale at sea. I later learned that, in fact, all the wire comes from China. It is laid up into cable in US mills and therefore "Made in USA". Such is the case with a good many "Domestic" products and most imports from Europe and elsewhere too.

Ever tried that? Even American made products might have some Chinese parts in it. My American Made bicycle has Chinese made parts on it.
