Buy American:
The United States imports most of its bananas from Guatemala, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Colombia.
China is where the world gets most of its silk, with India being a distant second. If you want to buy American, you'd have to get your silk clothing and scarves from American fashion houses. You wouldn't want to get them from Marshall's, because they buy products from China and you need to not support any place that buys from China.

Don't expect your New Balance shoes to be made in the states - American-made shoes are a small percentage of their selection; most of them are made in China, Indonesia, and Vietnam.

While there aren't any cars in the US that are fully made in China, MOST US-made cars use components that are manufactured in China.

Do you like drinking tea? Ice tea? Better stop drinking it. The vast majority of non-herbal tea in the US is imported from China.
