Not only China.......If a person received Victoria's Secert they or the buyer could possibly be supporting sweatshops in Jordan, the treatment of women there and they allow this factory..........figure that one out!!
I think it's just amazing where some of our stuff comes from and the price other people pay to keep others comfortable. For the most part I don't believe Americans know/understand what others in other countries endure in the work place to bring us cheap stuff.
I do try and buy American when and where I can........many "Ma & Pa" stores do carry American made you just have to ask and seek.

You think that is bad? Check out the rampant slavery in the Chocolate and Coffee industries!
On that note! you got what you paid for? And boy depending on what you buy, many goods from China are going up in price, notice computer and tablet and cell prices.
Democrats think a lot of things! Don't make it gospel. As some of you think!
The elected Democrats in Washington only want to raise taxes, increase penalties on employers and manufacturers, create more EPA regs, all they have in their tool box is punish, regulate, and tax.

Do you have some actual links to back that up?
Because from my point of view all they want to do is line their own pockets more. They could care less about the rest of that.
I made a real effort to not buy items made in China. Most of the gifts I bought were made in the USA and the rest were made in Italy or France.
