You may or may not know that most of the American flags are made in China. When I first heard that bit of information I was shocked. It didn't make any sense at all! Why is China making one of our most recognizable symbols? Shouldn't we be making our own flag? If it's made in China, is an American flag even American anymore?
On the other hand, the United States make chopsticks. So, China apparently can't make their most prominent food utensil, and we can't make the flag that represents our country. Now, that's just sad. It seems to me that if each country just made their own chopsticks or flags then we'd waste less fuel sending them almost across the world.
All in all China making our flags, and the U.S. making chopsticks is meaningless trade. We could each easily create it for ourselves. I don't really get why it's the way it is now. What's the point?
