Companies that will "go through some things" because such a large % of their products are made in China

Apple... it's said that around 80% of Apple products, most phones, most laptops etc are manufactured in China. It's not just Apple... an estimated 7 out of 10 American-owned smartphones (Androids as well as Apple) are Made In China.

WalMart .... estimates are that 70% of all their inventory comes from (or has been coming from) China.

L.L. Bean.... believe it or not, despite their Maine folksy branding and origin story, around 65% to 75% of LL Bean's entire catalog is Made In China.

Amazon.... approximately 70% of everything sold on Amazon is sourced from China.

What others? I believe many shoe/footwear companies are similar, even some rather upscale brands.

All those shops that sell cheap Chinese junk like Five Below, Dollar Tree, etc.

Good luck finding enough Westerners to make all those phones in factories again, all the while curbing down on immigration, AND expecting the prices to come down at the same time.

So much cakeism in the West, and the politicians are too spineless to tell everyone the truth.
