I prefer to buy American, but if the product stinks or is way too expensive, I will buy the best, most economical product, whatever its country of origin. We don’t do American companies any favors by buying their products if those products are of fecal quality.
Just saying.
Last year America bought something along the lines of 440 billion of Chinese goods and imports.
During the same time, China only bought 122 or so, billion from America. I (believe) that includes farm goods.
Of all the imports to America of goods from Chinese factories, who all pay Chinese employees, none of the factories are entirely owned by Americans.
None. (to the best of my knowledge)
As far as I know, ALL OF THEM need a key 51% or more Chinese ownership.
So we by buying imports, increasingly are simply supporting financially, a massive communist Chinese build-up.
A military buildup, as well as financial.
There are a whole heck of a lot, of veterans right here on FR, and I don’t yet see them paying attention.
But they will.
Eventually.
America cannot buy things from overseas forever.
We just cannot.
