I found myself at Walmart last week in search of a replacement plastic cutting board and a Twin-sized blanket to use in the family room. My first thought was "only China crap options". Instead, the cutting board, under Walmart's Mainstays brand of all things, was made in the USA, and the blanket was made in India.

Either I hadn't noticed this before, or we're slowly moving to alternative sources for everyday items. I thought the cutting board was a few dollars more expensive that I remember seeing it last year. It might be a supply issue, but if that's the price to pay to get something not made in China, find by me.

China was already hurting as quite a few businesses were leaving China due to high labour costs. What China has done to so many other countries has turned it into a pariah. Even Russia has cancelled some defense deals.

Go Taiwan, go!
