Is Everything Made from China?
Sometimes it seems like everything we own has been made in China—the iPhones in our pockets, the TVs in our living rooms, the clothes in our closets, and the toys under the Christmas tree. (And if it's plastic—the tree, too.) China, after all, manufactures more stuff than any other country in the world.

Also to know is, why is everything manufactured in China?

One of the reasons companies manufacture their products in China is because of the abundance of lower-wage workers available in the country. China has been accused of artificially depressing the value of its currency in order to keep the price of its goods lower than those produced by U.S. competitors.

One may also ask, are things made in China bad? Fine particulates from power plants and factories are a main component of China's notorious air pollution. They're also far more deadly than ozone, another principal ingredient in dirty air. Researchers began with pollution tallies from a wide variety of sources, such as trucks and manufacture of plastics.

Then, is everything made in China Cheap?

China has made a fortune producing cheap products that sell for low prices around the world. Yet many high-end goods manufactured in China –- everything from iPads to Coach bags — actually cost more in China than they do in the United States. Back in the U.S., that made-in-China backpack retails for just $139.
