The vast majoriry of manufacturing in China has always been done by Chinese companies. Goods we buy from Walmart aren't made by Walmart factories in China, employing Chinese workers. Walmart finds the cheapest Chinese manufacturer of trays then orders their Great Value branded version, shipped straight from the factory to the Walmart distribution hub. Walmart is the middle man. We cut them. The existing employer of the Chinese worker making the trays remains unchanged. There's no hypocrisy. We're cutting the most profit-hungry middle man from the supply chain is all. We know how things work.

    You are just parroting propaganda.

    I'm sorry you think that, but I'm not the one with half-dozen accounts spamming China-bad all day, every day:

    Keep in mind when engaging. I've had conversations, when I still hadn't noticed that, where I'd discuss in good faith, that account would reach a pount where they don't have a good comeback, only for another account to restart the argument with slightly different framing in an attempt to reach a different conclusion. Also group up/downvoting my comments during discussions. It's crazy. I only ever engage with these accounts in case someone else reading is taking them at face value.
