Thread Name: BS: The Great (Dry) Wall of China
Subject: RE: BS: The Great (Dry) Wall of China
It is difficult, if not impossible, to entirely avoid "made in China". What odds that shirt that says "made in Bangladesh" doesn't have buttons or a zipper from China?...and it won't say so anywhere. If you start to poke around that "assembled in USA" computer, you are likely to find boards, connections and fans that come from China...but bring your magnifying glass to see where it says so. The same is true if it is "made in Japan". Personally, if I really need something, I'll look for choices. If my only option is "made in China", than I hold my nose and buy it.

A trade embargo against Chinese goods? Impractical and totally impossible to enforce.
