Some may not like this, but an easy way to avoid many things made in China is to not shop at Walmart.
I remember my dd having a homework assignment in elementary school to find five things in our house made in the USA. This was during part of my 9 year boycott of Walmart & wow, that was still a difficult thing! It's hard to find anything American made, I guess Walmart just puts what isn't into one space.
I'd love to shop at mom & pop places & Green stores that offer a lot of product made here, but there just aren't many. Pretty sad.
