No big deal. Unless it's a wood cart made by Amish without power tools it will have imported parts from the container ships.

China breaks up into provinces so it would be the U.P. not the U.S.


Plus, Asia is nearly 60% of the worlds population, while North America is only 4%, chances are that you'd find a lot of thing made by Asian countries.

I bet half or more of the electronics are made some place other than the US. Are you really surprised?

That's what a lot of people don't realize... when they "buy American" it's usually a bunch of parts made in China and Mexico, and just put together here. Then the foreign cars are actually made here... go figure

There was actually an advertisement that GM was running in car magazines that was about how the Camaro was a worldly car.
