Made in USA: Americans fight back over Chinese imports

[yj007]

Pleas don't buy products in CHINA is killing the jobs in USA got MADE IN USA is true that is expensive but you pay for QUALITY!!! I started to buy jeans and shirts MADE IN USA that makes me difference!!! All people in USA should started to buy only to the companies in USA!!! Share this please!!!

[tscorp1967]

@yj007 I hope more people will feel the same way. NO MORE MADE IN CHINA! Buying Chinese imports only help undermine our own manufacturing industry in the U.S. Yesterday I went to a drugstore to buy razor blades and found just one package that said "Made in USA." Of course, I bought it. It is not easy to find American made items nowadays, but it is possible. We must let retail companies like Wal*Mart and also manufacutures that we are willing to pay more if made in USA.

[1Jinxed1]

like like like this video, go fuck yourself china.

Every north american should be sharing this kind of stuff on their facebook, twitter etc.

Our government cant do anything about this problem but the people sure can!!

Lets fuck china in the ass!!!!!

[workingstiff76]

You cannot compete against China when they subsidize their solar industry and artificially manipulative its currency.

workingstiff76 (

I do that also ,I am glad that someone else do the same thing . I look around and take notes on every country but china. i do not trust china *plus it is a comminist nation. in the end the us should give us another country to choose from.

[workingstiff76]

@gloryglory316 Too bad there are not more folks doing this. I can at least tolerate stuff made in India or Taiwan since they at least try to do right for their people and don't want to rule the world. Every time I see "Made in China" I want to run over whatever it is with a steamroller. My dream is to win the lottery, go to a Goodwill, buy everything in the store, and then have a party where everyone can smash everything made in China with hammers.

[workingstiff76]

Good for James! My budget isn't huge but I buy American whenever possible.When I cannot buy American, I at least try to buy something from any country that isn't China. I also buy used clothing and items from charitable thrift stores if practical, since even if the used good is from China, the Chinese won't get any benefit from the sale.

[n2skcmo]

@workingstiff76 The used goods at the thrift store are higher quality than the new foriegn items. Most of the clothing I buy anymore is from thrift stores, it costs less is made in USA and of higher quality.

[workingstiff76]

@n2skcmo +9999 exactly! For instance, I like the style and design of solid wood American Made furniture from the 1930s-1970s. I can pick that kind of stuff up in great condition at almost any thrift store for 1/10th the price of Ikea particle-board-in-a-box and it is 20x the quality. That kind of furniture will last a lifetime versus 5 years.

[bedfordpower]

As long as we Americans will only work for good pay so that we can own our own houses, own a brand new car, own the best gadgets China will always win! since the Chinese are willing to work for just Bread and small living expenses, we are spoiled rotten and we have dug ourselves our own graves for our generations.

unless a work force of hardworking men and woman who are willing to work for 15-20k income per year exists in the US We wont see manufacturing ever coming back here in the US.

[Vietboy1st]

MY GUNS, MY VEST, MY BOOTS, MY GEARS, SOME OF MY SHIRT MADE IN USA. FUCK CHINA MAN.. THEY ARE BULLSHIT FOR MAKING LOW ASS QUALITY PARTS. THEY EVENT MAKE REPLICA RICE IN CHINA TOO.. WTF..

[TheCrushmaster]

Sad.

Though, honestly, I think more stuff is made in America than people think. I know, because I've looked into it. The Internet is your friend in this regard. ;-)

Now, out in the stores...Eh heh...

God bless!

[Elbottoo]

James is a moron. Enough said. 

[FinalLugiaGuardian]

@Elbottoo You're the moron. It is not hard to figure out. Every time you buy Chinese imports you are outsourcing manufacturing jobs. People who make things spend the money made money on services and retail. If manufacturing jobs go away less money will be spent on services and they will be forced to lay off people. James is trying to fight back. He is to be commended for his willingness to put quality and country before quantity and price.

[Elbottoo]

@FinalLugiaGuardian Youre IQ is 10, YOU are the moron here, moron. Go back to highschool, you retard. Not hard to figure out? Wtf are you talking about moron. Your LIES about free trade dont work on me, moron. James is a MORON and so are you. have fun buying expensive american CRAP thinking youre so smart for paying a higher price, you stupid moron.

Folks, this is exactly what Darwin is talking about. If these retards wants to live STUPID, than its just darwinism at work.

[FinalLugiaGuardian]

@Elbottoo Its called principle. Yes, the person who buys from China saves money, but at the same time they're voting with their wallet for authoritarian systems ways of doing business. I understand it isn't always feasible to buy made in USA, but I try to do it anyway. According to a documentary I saw on ABC, if we just spent an extra $64 each year on USA made products 200,000 jobs. It may not be much, but its my contribution. Also, if I can't buy made USA, I always buy made in a democracy.

[Elbottoo]

@FinalLugiaGuardian it is you who is the moron. the only principle that morons like you adhere to, is racism and bigotry. go home trailertrash. we dont want your kind here. you still think in terms of skincolor. I dont look at color but the best product or best price or best person. go home trailertrash.

[FinalLugiaGuardian]

@Elbottoo It doesn't matter your race. If you were born here or immigrated from whatever country to the USA, you're an American. I don't care what race you are. I used to be part of the Asian Student Union at school. When you buy an American product you're stating you are proud of you're country. How is that racist? Furthermore, when you buy from a democratic country over an authoritarian one, you're funding democratic countries influence over the world and denying power to authoritarian ones.

[Elbottoo]

@FinalLugiaGuardian If you buy an inferior product that costs more than another inferior product, than youre dumber than a donkey. Period. I see youre playing the patriot/ race card again. This world is based on who is the best, not on which country you are from, you dumb shithead.

You could be buying something from your own country and proclaim how proud you are, but when that pos product is inferior, youre supporting inferior crap over superior product competition. Moron.

[tscorp1967]

@FinalLugiaGuardian Thank you for your great message. Yes, we should always try to buy Made in USA first. If that is not possible, then buy made in a democracy.

[ttiiyy]

Fighting against imports is never easy. Look at the olive oil. Can we grow and produce olive oil in the US instead of importing them from Italy? Sure. But why aren't most companies doing it? Why do they import the olive oil directly from Italy? Because it tastes better? No. It's all about SAVING the cost. Italian farmers are willing to work for lower pay, so the same products that are made in Italy are just much cheaper.

I think Americans are just IN DENIAL.

[moistfaucet]

Sometimes i don't understand Chinese also, if the other trader could not buy their products because job loss, what happens to Chinese manufacturer ? Building another Great Wall ? 

[ttiiyy]

@moistfaucet What??? If the other trader could not buy their products because job loss? Which trader are you talking about???

If the trader becomes really poor, the table will simply turn around. Chinese will then gain the control of the market. They will then take the place of Americans and Europeans, become the employers, and build the factories in poorer countries where some poor people will be grateful for any jobs that they can get.

Hopefully, the US will never end up in that place.

[moistfaucet]

@ttiiyy , The Reason Chinese manufacture real success is because of the Asian Flue, many company looking for low cost product.b'cause middle income family disappearing, and china show up at the right time and place. if the economy is good. people have money for sure they look for more sophisticated product which is from Europe , America or japan. There is NO WAY RICH PEOPLE want to buy product make in CHINA. only Low income people want to buy them.

[moistfaucet]

The Power of the Economy laid the hand of the consumer. Not the government.

[FinalLugiaGuardian]

That James guy is my hero. He is actually willing to spend more of his own money on products that support his own country. I try to by made in USA as much as possible too, but it is indeed hard.

[vidkid1]

This isn't the result of capitalism. This is the result of unfair trade and doing business with currency manipulating criminals.

[Jacy6969FU]

@whatevahization Then how do we FIGHT THAT!? You better come up with a solution than just state the problem over & over again :-/

[Jacy6969FU]

GO USA!!!! MORE JOBS TO THE UNTIED STATES!!!

HALLELUJAH THERE ARE STILL SOME MADE IN AMERICA JOBS STILL AROUND!!

SOME WALL-STREET & INDUSTRIALIST BASTARDS WILL TRY TO KEEP AMERICA (U.S.A) FROM HAVING JOBS. AS C'o GREEN SAYS "FUCK YOU!!"

[ImportingFromChina1]

Interesting!

[liahma123]

the best way to avoid losing jobs to foreign countries is to stop trading with them......don't blame the other countries taking away your job.......i believe your country is a democratic country, people have freedom of choice in speech, buying,selling etc, etc.........don't buy any products from the country you think has robbed your jobs.

[stephentsang2000]

The world's largest current manufacturer and exporter of solar panels is Taiwan, and this news said that it benefits China. What is happening to American's news industry for providing such misleading information???!

[Xwaxtaxper]

@stephentsang2000 The news station that broadcasted this news report was from France 24...so it isn't an American...

[MultiAlpha111]

@stephentsang2000 taiwan is a province of china, even obama knows that. so what's up?

[neonajabetha22]

the star is coming from the east!

[sapphiresmiles]

This is the result of your beloved capitalism. Capitalists always wanna spend less and earn more. Enjoy capitalism, Americans!

[beenn15]

@sapphiresmiles economy works in waves... capitalism has been good to western democracies...

China has 1/5 of the world's population and they're doing their best to feed their population but we all know that their strategy isn't sustainable. Unless they diversify their growth sources, it'll all blow over when there's no one else to consume their products... They need to continue to grow at the same pace to sustain the population and prevent social unrest... and that's not possible.

[LordMalice6d9]

@sapphiresmiles Hate to break it to you but communism isn't much better.

[dhilrukshan]

@freethetruthIarry Walmart is not the only one. All corporations have majority of their stuff they sell manufactured in Chinese factories to save money. People continue to demand lower prices and this is also part of the problem. So not going to Walmart doesn't do much. Even if by some bizarre cause should Walmart go down another box store would take its place.

[Tressco]

Compete with slave wages of $1 a day and enjoy globalization!

[JogBird]

RIP USA

[Xwaxtaxper]

@JogBird Naaahhhhh. God bless USA

[sunnyjoe66]

USA and European Companies Stabbing their Workers in the back by getting their Products made in the far East and closing down Factories in Europe and USA. Then selling it back Home to their own Countries whom they are depending on buying it.

The worst aspects of Capitalism, Globalisation. It is getting very hard to buy stuff that is not made in China.

[Zakikhan588]

@sunnyjoe66 Well said BRO. American factories cannot survive if they do not make their goods in China. Americans need cheap chinese goods. Good luck with capitalism. I was working for Motorola and watched them abuse us with cheap labor standards. Reduce defense spending and every thing will be all right.

[Xwaxtaxper]

@Zakikhan588 Motorola isn't an American company you doofus

[Jacy6969FU]

@sunnyjoe66 Agreed..... :-/

[yd0006]

SpectraWatt Vice President said, "This action is undertaken in response to deteriorating market conditions resulting from a harsher-than-usual European winter causing a large drop-off in demand for solar cells." Just google "SpectraWatt powers down".

Why blame China here?

[480789]

James, I applaud your efforts to prioritized USA made goods over Chinese and share many of your concerns about their unfair trade policies. For example, the sulfur polluted dry wall that was used in many homes during the housing bubble.  What a terrible problem to be faced with after purchasing a home one thought was safe initially.
