"how do we get people to pay attention??"
Well, here are a few lines of the approach:
1. It is a CRAPPY crap. You get what you pay for, probably even less;
2. Wasn't it your company/plant which used to make this stuff?- outsourcing angle;
3. Slave and child labor angle;
4. Geo-strategic angle - Chinese spying, detention of US ELINT plane, their generally adversarial posture.
The only stuff I buy at Walmart is food. In Walmarts, Targets' , Searses and so on I always check "made in' label, and years ago I made it a point of honor to avoid Chinese crap like plague, which I most devoutly wish on them. I would feel honored if more FReepers joined me in that boycott, which one could hope to spread further afield in time. If one could not do without cheap crap, there always are clothes and gadgets made in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and so on. Why support strategic adversary?
