I try to buy American. Some things, it's just hard to tell how much of it is AMERICAN, and how much is only partly American.
I think I read a meme not long ago saying how much the average consumer could help reduce the trade deficit with China if everyone bought just X many products valued at x dollars.
BUT
As we have all undoubtedly experienced - especially ME, when it comes to ordering from Amazon - Chinese knockoffs or cheaper products are VERY often of much inferior quality. I will from time to time order a small item without paying too much attention and find that what I bought was MUCH smaller than I expected, or made of plastic and so on. For example, I've bought chess sets for clubs and such, and I normally expect them to be hard plastic with a little HEFT to them. Not hollowed out plastic that would blow over in a soft breeze. If the board is roll up kind, I expect it to be made of durable rubber or such - not something slightly thicker than cellophane.
Many years ago - I am dating myself - there was a TV show called the Dating Game. It's been parodied enough times over the decades that people do know the format. A young girl would ask questions for Bachelors numbered 1, 2 and 3 from behind a divide, and choose one for a date, which the show would provide an all expense paid event. I recall on one show, the young woman asked what the label on Bachelor number one would say, if he had one. He answered "Made in Japan" and the audience was floored. EVERYONE knew back then, made in Japan meant it was the poorest quality imaginable. Obviously - that changed, over time - but so did the price. No one today buys Japanese products because they're CHEAPER.
I don't think China is going to change that, though. As long as they are on top, there is no incentive to build quality merchandise.
