A quote from wal-marts chinese web site
This is a quote from wal-marts Chinese web site....




"Wal-Mart China persists in local procurement which provides more job opportunities, supports local manufacture industry and promotes local economy. So far, 95% of merchandising sold at Wal-Mart China store are local products by which Wal-Mart has established business relations with nearly 20,000 suppliers. At Wal-Mart, we treat suppliers as partners and would like to develop with them. In 2008 Wal-Mart won the Supplier Satisfaction published by Business Information of Shanghai for five consecutive years."

Just about summarizes a major reason the US is falling in to poverty.

3. That was my thought also..
As soon as Walmart finds cheaper suppliers they will be selling "foreign made" goods in China too.

once he was gone it was katie-bar-the-door.

9. The problem is the trade policies, not the company that capitalizes on them.

They are playing by the rules, but the rules need to be changed.
