If I can avoid buying goods made in China I do.
All things being equal I buy made in the USA.
American branded cars tend to be less expensive than their foreign counterparts, and nowadays I think they are just as good.
When I used to fence, the choices in blades were French, Russian, or Chinese. The Russian and Chinese blades were utter crap. The Chinese grips were terrible. French made blades were always the best choice, and there were none made in the USA iirc.
