a builder told me a few years ago that concrete was being rationed because there was so much demand.

Think of the American jobs lost to Chinese manufacturers who make and sell this crap. The insane drive for profits lures so many companies into the trap of closing US facilities and importing obviously inferior products into the US to fatten margins.

Problem is, our standard of living is eroding as everything we buy gets shabbier and shabbier. I'd LOVE to buy some AMERICAN made work gloves for the field like my ancestors used to buy. How do I know the sweaty gloves aren't poisoning me????

I won’t even use a toothpaste brush (or toothpaste) that’s made in China.

We’re importing drywall now?

Good grief.

[Rome2000]

Does that drywall burn in a Chinese fire drill?

I have decided that the safest substance you can buy, is 100% lead that is made in China. It will be the only substance you can buy that is guaranteed not to have any lead in it.

Rule One: Never buy anything made in China.
Rule Two: Never buy anything made in China.
Rule Three: Never buy anything made in China...

Had no idea we were importing drywall from China.
The high sulfur combined with the moisture inside your evaporator coil could definitely cause some corrosion.

The FL housing boom is so costly in terms in personal finance, economics, taxes, environment, and now personal health.

Unbelievable and sad....greed trumped everything in Florida during the boom.

Just great. I suppose a few coats of paint as a sealant would be insufficient. Where is our paint made? If it's that dangerous, imagine the workers in China who are exposed to it. Anyway, how in the heck are we supposed to know where each and every thing we buy is made because it's not all marked? I should be watching the origin of the food products I use, don't buy many clothes or home furnishings, so just buy odd stuff. PVC pipe I made an indoor growing light system, plastic containers, quarry tiles, etc.

It's the kind of thing that once you find out about it, even if it isn't emitting anything toxic or at toxic levels, the power of suggestion could make you develop symptoms. I don't mean to make light of it if levels are so high they can kill or disable you. What do they propose to do, gut the homes and put up new drywall? That is a heck of a nasty job and then getting all the trim to fit right again, assuming you don't bust it up getting it off, been there, done that.

That drywall comes in large sheets, and I need some done here, don't even know if wherever I buy it will know its origin. I'm not going to worry about it, have enough on my plate as it is, but I will try to check what I do buy to see if it is made in China.

Chinese drywall has toothpaste in it.
