Easier said than done. In some items it’s close to impossible. In others one has to do a lot of work to find the non Chinese product. And even then it might still be a Chinese company. How many here knew a good chunk of the Italian clothing industry was taken over by the Chinese until the virus hit Italy?

I confess, it was news to me.

I did not know, and it was an unpleasant surprise. I had made a point of buying stockings from the Italian brands, thinking it was a European option. However, I now learn that the Chinese bought all that manufacturing in northern Italy, precisely for the appeal of the “Made in Italy” label.
