Buy a GM car and buy American?

GM makes engines for their midrange SUV's in China.

Ford has various cast iron assemblies made in China, as do most automakers.

The LCD on your "Made in China" laptop? Highly likely that the glass for that display came from upstate NY, as the biggest producer of glass for LCD's is Corning, Inc.

If and product states that it's made in the USA from domestics parts, labor and materials, I'm more likely to think "Prove it" than buy it.

The reason the Olympics draw the protests is that they are a high profile event internationally, with 24/7 television coverage.
The Chinese own so many United States government securities that they could bankrupt the US if they called them in, they have us by the balls basically. Why doesn't anyone protest that?
