How do you even do that? I make an effort when I have a choice but so often it seems like there is no other choice.

For instance i still use 10y old Dell 14r laptop. When it became slow to run windows i switched to u Ubuntu and added SSD (not china made).

I might have purchased less than 10 made in china products in the past 3 years

Something is better than nothing

That Dell was still certainly made in China. And the SSD, while not manufactured in China, likely had components which were.

It's practically impossible to avoid it.

I think the point is they haven't purchased a new one in 10 years. Therefore, no more purchase from China.

Laptop was purchased before XI became president.

Agree we can't avoid completely but still doing something is better than nothing.

IMO, the best one can practically do is to just buy used.

It's not 0 support, but it's a lot less than buying new.
