[Epoch News] "Made in China" is a phrase with which all U.S. consumers are intimately familiar.

In past decades, that term referred to major branded products sold at U.S. stores manufactured by factories located in China. For example, a Matchbox car bought from Toys "R" Us and made in China by Mattel. Today, U.S. consumers are increasingly purchasing Chinese-branded products from Chinese stores directly over the internet, and both Beijing and the world’s largest online retailer—Amazon.com—have been facilitating that trend.
Sure - they make money on every transaction.

On Amazon, 50 percent of all global sellers are based in China, according to data from Marketplace Pulse, a website that provides e-commerce market data. Those sellers store their goods and products in the United States at Amazon’s warehouses, so the items are shipped domestically and qualify for fast "Prime" shipping—also dubbed as the "Fulfillment by Amazon" program.
Amazon dot commie.
On paper, it shouldn’t be shocking that many products on Amazon are from China. But there’s a transparency concern. Since the sellers all market their products on Amazon’s local e-commerce websites, consumers may be unaware that they’re purchasing their products directly from Chinese stores.

Amazon has also actively courted Chinese sellers.

Amazon has built a Chinese-language website specifically catering to Chinese sellers, offering tutorials and guidance on setting up storefronts. Amazon also holds "seller conferences" in several cities across China to gather current and potential sellers for education and networking sessions.

The Seattle-based giant doesn’t disclose the number of gross sales made by third parties (non-Amazon sales) or the number of sales made by Chinese third-party sellers, so the magnitude of China-originated sales is unknown. A representative from Amazon declined to provide China-based sales numbers in an emailed statement.

#3 I was shopping for a chain made in this country. That turned out to be challenging. Turns out that many of the chainsaws you'd think were made in the USA, have parts made in China, and other parts of the far East.

#4 Full globalization.

Time to turn inward. Self-reliance to the extent possible. If we have to outsource then at least outsource to friendly nations.

End this insane suicidal dependence on China.
