I recently saw a news piece about making it law that we dont import US flags that are “made in china”, I agree
But then I noticed how many “products” that I have that are “made in china”, I understand lower labor costs make big profits etc. But my “Officially Licensed” Sports Attire. I remember when we took pride in Ford being American, now it too has fallen victim to the “foreign labor is cheaper blues”
What I’m confused about is that we seem to be “trading” profusely with countries that historically hates us, can anyone explain? Boycott or pressure our Lawmakers?
Sure, don’t buy it.

You don’t sound very old. When you get into high school or college, take an economics of trade class to better understand the theory of interntational trade.
I would also be very wary to categorize entire countries as hating us.
That said, there are good arguments for domestic trade, you are just not making them.

Buy American goods and tell everyone else to do the same

All you have to do is go to Walmart on a Saturday morning or the week before Christmas to see that Americas are not willing to give up thier cheaper prices.

don’t let the label or logo fool you. Sometimes things are made in USA actually are made in China as well.

You would be better served trying to compose a list of countries that like us as opposed to those that hate us. If you boycott those that hate us you’ll wind up naked and starving…

To answer your initial question, sure there is. Check the label, and if it’s made in China, then don’t buy it.
Simple.
Thanks for the two points.

Don’t shop at Wal-mart!

Boycotting would help.
I firmly believe that if something can be manufactured in your country, it should be.
