Anyone who considers spending money for ANYTHING involving China and the CCP is either not paying a bit of attention to what is happening - you know, virus and other stuff I won't go into on this thread, maybe drop down a notch for an education - or they flat don't care about the future of this country.

I will not buy or spend money on anything from Communist China if I have a choice - that means I must have it to function and it is not made anywhere else. I don't care if it's the best for the least, some things are more important. No shoes, clothes, tools, parts, nothing. Yes I will send it back if I buy it by mistake.

Additionally, I pay attention to content and double talk on "Assembled in US" stuff. Obviously, it's probably not possible to buy complex items - cars, computers, appliances, etc - that do not have some Chinese crap in them, but I try.

Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Europe, Mexico, Canada...no problem, although I do source US made as much as possible.
