Unless you’re very rich or living like a monk, boycotting Chinese made products is not an easy task. Go to any American supermarket and look at the labels, I bet a majority of them are made in China.

Voting with wallet only works when there are options. I bet the devices that you and I used to write these very comments are highly likely made in China too, at least partly

A great deal of our overall consumer products are, but most of our consumables come from the US or Central/South America.

Walmart has made an effort to stock mostly American products. Clothes and shoes are main exceptions at any store, although options do exist.
