Must everything be made in China?

I feel like there are certain items that justify the made in US price tags. Yoyos on one hand aren’t. When you compare Chinese made and US made, the difference is negligible. Where as US made furniture is a different story. There is a huiuuge difference in craftsman quality furniture vs mass made Chinese furniture. Kitchen Knives are another great example. Japan makes some of the best knives in the world, and can be relatively cheap for the quality. Compared to the very few us made cutlery, I’ll much rather buy a nicer blade from japan over a us made just for the made in u.s.a stamp. Although I think it would be pretty cool if, as mentioned near the beginning, we could have a larger mass production machine facility here. Unfortunately I don’t feel as though the demand is high enough for yo-yos to justify the cost of a facility that size.
