As a result, ballooning inventory of Wal-Mart send shockwave to Chinese suppliers:

Wal-Mart sneezes, China catches cold

I was at Walmart a few weeks ago to pick up a few groceries.

I needed baking soda and cornstarch. I checked the ‘great value’ brand (Walmart brand) and nowhere did I see where the product was made. I didn’t buy it even though it was the lowest price.

I last frequented Wally World when they PRIDED themselves on selling US goods. That was some time ago...

My wife works at Store #1, here in Rogers, AR. The foreign associates are already making the rounds. First place they go is Sporting Goods. They are just FLOORED by the fact that you can buy guns here!

My weekly shopping trips to Walmart is usually this:

Cheapest liquid laundry detergent.
Gatorade
Reddenbacher Popcorn
Mobil 1 oil.

I never buy any fresh food from them, occasionally I buy a can of mixed nuts but NOT the Walmart brand because its usually full of undersized peanuts. Their electronics are also suspect as 2nd rate or freight damaged, I know for a fact they often take returns and restock them.

Walmart is most definately on my NO Buy China list, if they want my business they need to offer more 100% all USA made (that means all of it)products.

The complete cut-off by Wal-Mart does not sound plausibly like glutted inventory. There are always demand for extreme sizes, as one example. The supply chain needs to be kept greased at some level. Something else besides Wal-mart economics is going on.

Could be that Wal-mart, who now has to support Chinese Communist Unions in its own stores there... is finally diversifying away from the Chicoms?
