Even if you lose all business with China, in the long term that is better.

It’s disturbing I cannot buy goods that are not (at least partially) made in China.

One component of this seems to be that by moving online we've lost access to the labels on goods. In a store, you can usually just look at the "made in <X>" label printed on the box. On amazon, that information is pretty much never available.

Possibly this is partially because they're commingling inventory made in different places, but I think a lot of it's just that amazon doesn't see any reason to force people to list that.

I once asked a person working on a large music instrument website why products "Made in USA" or "Made in [European Country]" were labeled as such, but the ones made in other countries aren't, and the answer was pretty simple: they A/B tested it, but "Made in China" or even "Made in [Asian Country]" drives people away. Japan and Korea have a good reputation for instruments, though.

Best observed while grocery shopping in chinatowns or dense Asian marketplaces. I'd say 95% of canned and packaged products stocked are imports from China.
