that's kinda funny.
how exactly do you determine which commodities are and are not made in china?
does this extend to components of commodities which are not "made in china" because the assembly plants are located somewhere else?

contemporary capitalism is way ahead of you---there's no effective distinction at the level of commodities between china and down the street from where you live. if there's a production facility near you, and it is owned by a corporation of any size, it's stock is held internationally. nothing is located anywhere in particular at the level of production. it's all part of that Great Big Detachment of Markets from the rest of social life that you've been conned into thinking means something.
