No, it’s the ubiquitousness of chinese products in the marketplace that drives their purchase by consumers. For a plastic wastebasket for the powderroom, someone is going to by whatever suitable item is readily available. Any difference in quality is not worth the effort involved in finding a US-made alternative. The chinese make crap. They can’t even make paper clips or nail clippers where the cutting edges meet evenly. They are greedy thieves and slackers who have no pride in their work. If you are happy buying cheap chinese garbage, i’m happy to make you pay more for it.
Uh, I thought the problem was all of the manufacturing that had moved to China.
It happened because US consumers, in our collective opinion, got move value for our dollars by buying those products
We wouldn't have any Chinese products for sale here unless the consumers had voted for them in the first place.
