All those words, and yet there is no mention of where the product is made. The title hints it may be Italy. But under the product information, the country of origin line is missing. The manufacturer is Superbuy. It sounds like an American name, but no, it is a company that buys and ships Chinese items. The seller, GoPlusUS, has a Chinese address.

How do Chinese manufacturers manage to produce things so much cheaper?

Prisoners.

China has detained Uyghurs, Falun Gong practitioners, and members of other ethnic and religious minority groups in roughly 1,200 state-run internment camps.

“Detention in these camps is intended to erase ethnic and religious identities under the pretext of ‘vocational training.’ Forced labor is a central tactic used for this repression,” a U.S. State Department statement said in January.

“In Xinjiang, the government is the trafficker. Authorities use threats of physical violence, forcible drug intake, physical and sexual abuse, and torture to force detainees to work in adjacent or off-site factories or worksites producing garments, footwear, carpets, yarn, food products, holiday decorations, building materials, extractives, materials for solar power equipment and other renewable energy components, consumer electronics, bedding, hair products, cleaning supplies, personal protective equipment, face masks, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other goods — and these goods are finding their way into businesses and homes around the world.”

If you care about liberty, if you hate slavery, if you want fair trade, then you give a cock-a-doodle-damn where your rooster was painted.

Amazon should make it simple to find the country of origin for every product.
