Also Amazon like the sells a lot of Chinese products. I do not know the percentage but I can look it up later and tell at a later date.
Not unlike how Walmart started out used to made in the USA store.
Good luck anything in Walmart is made in the USA. Lot's of foumers here never even knew that they sold majority American made products until the oldest Walton died and the Board of Directors out sourced almost everything to China exclusively in the late 80's.
Back than the wage of a Chinese worker was about the same as a slave worker in China.
The pay has increased enough to move out of China and use the rest in the Americas, hopefully and the majority in SE Asia, Esp India. The USA and India need to be tided very closely, even more closely with feeding aid to their military because of multiple boarder disputes with India sometimes thousands of miles away.
China is looking to take the whole of the south China sea for military and fishing rights away from Veitnam and The Philipines all the way to Tiwan and parts of Japonese islands.
They want to have that broad space covered from any sea attack from the south and they have supposedly Aircraft killer anti Ship Missels extremely fast, fast enough to not be able to intercept them.
So We are in a second cold war
But this adversary also has us by the nuts because they can sell at loss important finished products like steel and aluminium that we lost the art of making because they were big CO2 producers.
So the Gaias sent those jobs to China.
We just export the raw materials to get back an inferier product that should have been made at home.
Shipping Iron ore and Buxite ore to China many thousands of miles away to
appease the leftist greens only made it more carbon intensive.
BTW most of these ships use heavy fuel oil that pollutes a hell of a lot [ Bunker oil in particular ]
