I don't buy Hallmark cards anymore for this reason. Its not enough they charge $5, $6 + for a CARD, but they're made in China for the past several years.
There are plenty of cards still made in the US (American Greetings is one). Probably not boxed sets though.
I refuse to pay $5.00 or more for a card. Knowing they are made in China I won't feel guilty for not going the Hallmark route.
Virtually everything is made in China. I have no idea how that could be a surprise to you.
This will blow your mind: Go home and look at the tags of all your clothes!
I'm aware that most things, including clothes, sold in America are made in China. I was just surprised that Hallmark had outsourced. I thought its cards were all American-made. I assumed most or all of its non-card items were made in China.

Look at the little tab on the bottom of the American flag that's flying on your front porch.
Actually, I have a wool U.S. flag that was made in America. My dad, a WWII vet, gave it to me.

No kidding. I can imagine it...

I agree, and that concept frightens me.
And by the way - some cards with the American Greetings brand are made in China.

Honestly, I'm shocked when I see something that wasn't made in China. I assume virtually everything is made in part or whole overseas or in another country.
Thanks NAFTA!

I have difficulty understanding why anyone would wish to express their affection or condolences with a piece of paper, wouldn't a hug be sufficient?
