"The whole world is concerned about China-made "black hearted goods".
Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or  China ?

If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690       691   or 692   ,   the product is MADE IN  CHINA   .   
471   is Made in Taiwan.

The bar code can be helpful.

I might also remind people that China has aspirations for WORLD domination

China has transitioned from a Communist economy to a more capitalist one.
China could be described as a fascist state.

But all of that is somewhat beside the point.
Regardless of the type of economy it has,
it still is a HOSTILE REGIME!

Buying from Japan or South Korea or Taiwan
could be seen as supporting opponents of China.

There is also the option of homemade gifts.
Every year, I looked forward to
the fudge my grandma would send through the mail.

And the scarf she crocheted for me 45 years ago
will always be one of my most treasured possessions.

Yeah, well I'll stick with U.S.A. made goods and services as much as possible.
