I refuse to buy any product not made in a country that does not maintain the same way of life we do. If it is not made in the USA, Europe, or even Japan I will not buy it.
The continued robbing of manufacturing base in America will be its downfall. China is not the first country we have shipped jobs to, and it will not be the last. Africa is next.

You don't buy alot of products then. Many so called american products are made by international and multinational companies. A dell computer has parts made in thailand built in china that is owned by an american company. Will you still buy them then? And dont even start as to what car you drive. Unless its a ford, chances are the majority of parts come from all over the world.
If africa can stop the corruption, then there is a good chance they will eventually be developped. But for the time being, the light is shined at china and india.
