Who around here is sick & tired of buying stuff made in China?
Seems like a bargain, 'till it breaks, and you gotta buy another one.
Inferior metals and lack of quality control. Faulty everything.
Faulty nuts & bolts holding things made of faulty steel. 😡
What's in the paint and plastics anyways? Toxic waste?
There are no product safety controls in China.
Laborers there working long days to earn $1/day? That's slavery, especially when a bowl of soup costs that much.
WalMart did lots to destroy American manufacturing.
AND WHY WE ARE CONSUMING MEDICINES MADE IN CHINA?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WITH FENTANYL COMING FROM CHINA?
And as for them car parts made in Mexico.
How good a part really do you think someone paid $2-$3/hour is gonna make? Really now.
Let's MAKE MADE IN AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
110% with President & CIC Trump...TARIFFS!!!!
Force BALANCED TRADE and a Level Playing Field.
That will also force RAISED STANDARDS OF LIVING everywhere.

Allowing pig iron from China to enter OUR Livelihoods, OUR Military, OUR Buildings, is domestic and foreign war against Americans AND should handled as such. The amount of sheared bolts is probably more than anyone can comprehend.

I have banned Chinese products for decades.
I leave it on the shelf.

Yes, we HAVE to purchase some items because we have no choice due to the soul selling choices OUR treasonous "leaders" made/make.

I believe Americans NOW realize after 30-40 years of shopping themselves out of their jobs they too are leaving it on the shelf. Better late than never. I told them in the '80's...I say it now...
Leave It On The Shelf.

Purchase American and I promise it will last. Purchase Chinese and I promise from socks to bolts you will replace it more than once.

Shifting to contaminated foreign steel was purposeful, especially concerning faulty Military Armor, but also infrastructure.
Much will have to be rebuilt.
Recycled steel by nature is usually contaminated (for example with copper) and only can be diluted with fresh iron ore, but the imperfections are still there. Adding low grade iron ore (for example high sulfur) only adds to the problem.
Shear and torque values cannot be trusted on any China-made steel IMO.
Compare a China-made bearings to an original USA Made Timkin bearing, and the early failure rate on China made is your proof.

AMEN!
10-4!

It would be lovely to have a Congressional Hearing
On Your Expertise Of Understanding.
Folks don't get it. They need to hear truth so they can grasp, put together the puzzle pieces on the intent of harm without ever firing a shot. Our $$ IS building Chinese bullets not helping the nice Chinese Families. Their inferior products is the demise of our infrastructure, military safety.

My Dad shot the Chinese.
His tolerance amazes me that he will give a Chinese product a chance which always complicates his situation. It breaks.

On his Kabota tractor, purchase a belt, a bolt from China and almost immediately need to return and replace.

He orders USA product and all is happy, because I keep telling him to know what you are purchasing.
The dealership doesn't care if you spend most your day getting new parts. Chinese profit margin is obviously better but not better for customer service, customer relationship.
