How difficult would it be for you to shop and not buy products made in China or made from Chinese components?

I think it would be extremely difficult.

I have not been buying products Made in China since the 1st of January, 2007. If I see a product that I want that is made in China, I just don't buy it. And, I am saving a lot of money. You just have to learn to do without those products or find an alternative that is made somewhere else. When you find a product made in China, tell the salesperson that this product is made in China, and ask them if they have a similar alternative product that is made somewhere else. If everyone does this, U.S. retailers WILL get the message and will stop carrying products made in China.

For me, it has not been difficult at all. I made this decision before all these tainted and shoddy products from China (pet food, tires, and who knows what else) started showing up in the U.S. And now, I am glad I made the decision to stop buying products made in China. If you ask me, it's a war of economics. If we (the U.S.) are funneling massive amounts of our money to China by buying products made there, it's just making their country stronger. Why do we want to make China stronger. They are still a communist country. Their record of human rights abuses is horrible.

The U.S. computer and movie industry loses millions of dollars a year because of pirating (copies of software and movies) in China. Not to mention all the name brand clothing, shoes and purses that are copied over there as well. The government of China says they are trying to stop it, but the actions of the Chinese government are so small, and the pirating of goods is so rampant that it is like doing nothing at all.

I would strongly urge everyone to STOP buying products made in China. It is NOT GOOD for the United States. If you have a choice, buy products made in the U.S. of A. You will be supporting American jobs and you should feel good about that.
