and trying to find something in Walmart NOT from China is worse than looking for a needle in a haystack. WalMart only bought $15 billion from China out of $198 billion total last year. But don't let the facts get in the way of your emotions, or your poor eyesight.

Walmart, one company (that's .0000001%), accounted for 7.5% of the purchases. Come now FRiend, who's emotional?

Great point! Allow me to add further to it. Indeed, the cheap stuff sourced for Wal Mart does not add up to much. Whereas, things like PCB Assemblies, complete electronic systems, mechanical parts and the like add up to a lot.
