Phuck China and their evil empire. Is there a way or a list of China owned companies to obtain? The only company I have quit using so far is Smithfield Pork. Regardless of my attempts to avoid Chinese companies/products so far, it has been damn near impossible. Any help is appreciated.

You probably need to toss the device you used to post this thread.

Yeah, I did some project management on construction projects that were federally grant funded and required a certain percentage to be "buy American"... fortunately there were a lot of ways to get around it. Some stuff was just next to impossible.

I am not naïve, I understand the immensity of it. It has to start somewhere with everyone who cares.

But, I do know I can buy Pork somewhere else, same as other items...…..baby steps

It’s hard. Starting with clothes, furniture, and tools might be good steps.

AMC theaters and GE appliances are both Chinese owned.

ETA: as a Virginian the Smithfield ham thing absolutely kills me.

I am talking about major American companies owned by the Chinese. That would be a huge start.

Agreed a rebirth of manufacturing in this country would be a beautiful thing. I’ve started buying a lot of clothing, shoes, etc from some smaller companies with production in America.

With all the platitudes tossed out with the whole BLM movement by big corporations, I’ve felt that some kind of investment in training younger folks by these corporations would go a lot further than just throwing out some cash that’s just going to get skimmed.
