Responsible consumers don't buy products from China.

I try, but it is impossible (unless you truly live an Amish lifestyle). We will pay double for non-Chinese fish, but not everyone can afford to do that.

That Taiwanese modem? Power supply made in Red China.

A computer made with legacy American brands? Intel brand motherboard made in Red China.

In an entire children's shoe store, ALL of the shoes (including the expensive ones) made in Red China. If you are lucky you might find a pair from Brazil, S. Korea or Spain.

Don't think those Chevy engines are the first Red Chinese components put into cars. The stuff is all over the place, just like it is in much of the pet food.

To be sure, we try to avoid buy Red Chinese (or do without when possible, including going to thrift stores for children's shoes), but for many true necessities it is no longer possible, especially if you include components.
