It's impossible to participate in the current US economy without buying stuff that's made overseas, but for quite a while, and for a variety of reasons, I've tried to be willing to spend more to buy something that's made in the US the EU, or even Japan. However, often you just don't have a choice.
Lately, I've been doing my best to avoid products that are Made in China, and when I read stories like the one linked below, or, say, something about the Uighurs, that makes it ever harder. I don't feel personally responsible for the actions China takes in HK or Tibet, but there's no doubt that their recent prosperity,
fueled in large part by people like us who buy stuff from them, makes it a lot easier for them to be more aggressive than they've been in the past.
