A Year Without “MADE IN CHINA”

A Year Without “MADE IN CHINA”
By Sara Bongiorni

This is an artical about the autor with her family feelings when they do not use the made in China products in a year.

Here are some comments from her :

I don’t know what we will do after Dec. 31 when our family’s embargo comes to its official end. China-free living has been a hassle. I have discovered for myself that China doesn’t control every aspect of our daily lives, but if you take a close look at the underside of boxes in the toy department, I promise it will give you pause.

Our son knows where he stands on the matter. In the bathtub one evening he told me how happy he was that "the China season" was coming soon.

"When we can buy China things again, let’s never stop," he said.

After a year without China, I can tell you this: You can still live without it, but it’s getting trickier and costlier by the day. And a decade from now I may not be brave enough to try it again.
