Walmart didn't become Walmart based upon Chinese goods, not at all. Walmart was actually a hold out among retailers when it comes to Chinese goods. Remember Walmart was already Walmart, as in a Goliath, king of retail - long before Chinese manufacturing became central to production. Walmart had a big "Made In the USA" labeling program for years and years - and pushed their buyers to lean towards US made products. Alas that day has long since ended.
Sadly, Sam Walton's vision didn't stick with his children.
What was that quote I see attributed to the sheik?
"My grandfather rode a camel, I drive a Toyota, my son drives a Ferrari, his son will drive a Toyota, his son will ride a camel
