The dummies at the Wall Street Journal are doing their version of the liberal tear jerker. I would expect that China is not the only source of “a raw fabric known as greige”
In fact, a quick search finds that India is also a big producer of griege fabric. See here: http://www.balavignaorganic.com/greige-fabric.php
Don't know how we'd live with that. Good thing you found some on the internet....lol.
