Thoughts about buying Chinese made products

In issue 511 of the RVtravel.com newsletter, posted Dec. 10, 2011, I outlined my thoughts about buying goods from China and how buying them is destructive to America because they are robbing us of manufacturing jobs. I suggested that Americans should try to buy "American" whenever possible.
We have much more freedom in the gifts we buy for the holidays than when buying for ourselves. For example, when we buy for ourselves we might need a new toaster to replace one that died. In that case, good luck finding one made in America. But when buying a gift, it's pretty easy to find something made in America when the choice of a gift is not based on a specific product need.
So what are you thoughts after reading my essay? Remember, the comments are moderated, so they may not appear immediately after you post.
