Here’s the problem I have with Wal Mart, not a problem but shopping dilemma.

I want to know, seriously, where all of you are seeing all of this Made In Chia stuff. I buy nothing but brand name OTC stuff, toiletries, paper towels, consumer goods and a lot of Great Value products.

I’ve bought JBL speakers, a Roku, memory cards, HP printer inks etc in the past 45 days.

Is it the clothes? I mean where exactly are you seeing this stuff since everything I’ve been buying have been established known brands for decades.

Is this a troll post?

You cannot be series? Go through Walmart from wall to wall. Look at ANYTHING manufactured. In travel. In camping. In electronics. Games. Gear. Small items to buy. Cooking goods. Houseware. Everywhere.

Stem to stern, almost EVERYTHING at our local Walmart about six months ago, was made in China.

I did see a hatchet, which was made in India. However others on the shelf there were made in China, as were everything else in the entire store aisle. Gear was all made in China. Manufactured good. Made in China. Aisle, after aisle, after aisle.

Everything I saw. Everything.

Made in China.

Now granted I did not shop for food, and I did not shop for clothes. I take it Walmart is starting to source those from even cheaper places than China.

But outside of those two things, basically every single thing I saw in the entire big store, which interested me anyway.

Was ALL MADE IN CHINA.

70% of Walmart’s products are imported from China.

I think the problem here is that you've conflated a brand name with a country of manufacture.

Memory cards were made in Asia, including China, Korea or Taiwan. The Roku was made or assembled in China and JBL speakers were manufactured in China.

Even many things that are labeled "Made in the USA" often have foreign sourced parts.

Not so long ago, the US Army was criticized for buying military uniform parts from China. Was it green berets?

BTW: Amazon is no better.

“everything I’ve been buying have been established known brands for decades.”

The name of the brand has little or nothing to do with where the product is manufactured.
