Avoid ‘Made in China’

The United States has high unemployment. How many times have you looked over an item only to see that it is made in China? It is difficult finding anything that is not made in China.

I recently stopped in a large store in Cheney that is going out of business. Every item I picked up was made in China. It repulses me that we exported the finest economy the world has ever known to a corrupt country that grips tightly to its aggressive communist ways.

Think about ways to avoid buying gifts this Christmas that are made in China. China is not an ally of the USA. Our extreme buying and manufacturing in China has enabled this once backward communist country to become a superpower. Our consumption of merchandise out of China has fueled their buildup of a huge navy, army and air force. Their People’s Liberation Army is a menace to the whole world now and in the future.

We Americans have an addiction to the goods made in China. Much of the manufacturing is, unfortunately, American companies. Why didn’t American corporations move to friendly countries?

Do something for America and avoid “Made in China” this Christmas.
