[Tish]

I have been boycotting them for the last 3 years.

I'm apathetic.

 

[Devi]

I generally boycott Chinese products, if I can tell they're made in China. Also, I've found in general that they're not that well made and/or not made with safe parts, so ...

Cheap is not always the best.

 

[Butterfly]

Yes, I do that also. ...and stay away from pet food/treats from China. I don't feel any of that stuff is safe.

I strongly agree. I'm careful to buy only made in the USA dog treats and food, too.

Until recently, most things for sale here are all made in China.

Things made here are too expensive for the ordinary person to
buy.

Made in Romania, Slovakia, Poland, Thailand are but a few places
that are making some things that I bought lately, not food though,
that is from the UK, unless it is exotic fruits.

But all sorts of things are made in China.

Mike.

I bought a Lenovo L340 laptop (win 10) in January of 1010. It was only later that I discovered it was Chinese made, with a history of hidden spyware. I removed Lenovo Vantage, in a way it could not be remotely re-installed. There was one attempt to do so, that failed. I had no idea.

1010? Did it have a 1,000 year warranty?

I do my best to buy American, but like what was said we live in a world economy. a few years ago I bought a Toyota truck, a fellow gave me a hard time about buying American. My Toyota was made in Kentucky. Last year we bought a new Buick, after I got it I saw a sticker inside the door, it read made in Korea.
