I try to follow this hierarchy, but it's not always easy
Made in USA by a USA based company, not owned by a Chinese company (there are a lot of these)
Made in USA (USA workers, don't care where the profits go)
Made in Mexico or Central America (keep people working there)
Made in Third World country not China
Made in other First World countries (Europe, Japan, etc)
Made in China
I sometimes also chase down where all the parts are made, but there are only 24 hrs in a day
