“Stop buying Communist Chinese products!”
A Wal-Mart would mainly empty except for the grocery and plant sections if it did not carry Communist Chinese-made stuff.
We need to stop blaming the Communist Chinese and examine our own inability to outcompete the Communist Chinese on our own turf.
If you look on the boxes you can find options not made in China even in Walmart.
That is if you ever buy anything but food.

How do you propose ‘competing’ against a country that doesn’t have/enforce any rules against slave labor and very few if any environmental regulations - sure, some of our epa rules are overkill, but I bet very, very few westerners would be willing to live with the pollution levels and utter destruction of the environment that is allowed in communist china, which allows them to produce things cheaply.
Unless americans are willing to pay 2-3X as much for identical products produce in this country (and generally they are not) - I am not sure there is going to be much ‘competition’.
Out here in the Soviet of Washington we have a brand of pharmacies called Rite Aid. It’s a type of shop that sells tons of other items besides drugs from booze to little knickknacks for your yard. Since the Scam-demic hit 3/4 of their shelving space has been as bare as a Venezuelan grocery store. I’m hoping folks wake up from this and we cut China down to size. I know, but we CAN still dream right?
