In love with ‘Made in China’ Barun Roy Published : November 14, 2003 Every time I visit my daughters in the US, we get into the same debate we’ve been arguing for years: whether it’s ethical to shop at places like Wal-Mart, Target, Kmart and Walgreens. My daughters and many socially-conscious Americans regard these outfits as the rogues of the American retail industry who are said to buy their products from sweat-shops around the world and follow unfair labour practices at home to drive up revenues and profits. They should, therefore, be strictly boycotted. But the thing is, the overwhelming body of the American buying public doesn’t care. These stores give them the best bargains they can get anywhere, and that’s what matters to them. The average American consumer is so used to looking for and getting low prices at these places that he or she won’t go anywhere else. Take Wal-Mart. People call it the Beast of Bentonville — after its home base in the state of Arkansas — and have been running hate campaigns against it for years. But its revenues have been rocketing ever upwards and reached a whopping $ 245 billion in 2002. business-standard.com ============ 12% of all US imports goes to Walmarts
