A bit of an exaggeration. It does not take much research, google of course is useful, and looking at product websites they must disclose country of origin. Certain big names are obvious skips, seriously don't buy Apple. Avoid certain car brands and yes this includes Tesla but Volvo also exports from China as does Buick and others. A lot of brands have US based manufacturing but to be honest, if you are avoiding China related items you must hold the company accountable across all territories. for consumer electronics its pretty easy to find sites dedicated to popular models and from there you can easily see where something is made if you are looking for house hold goods, furniture, dinner ware, and the like, consider buying used from thrift shops, donation centers, garage sales, and even ebay; all my dinner and glass ware is vintage anchor hocking and morgantown glass. the other option is to consume less. most often people buy stuff when what they have already does quite well. it is also a leading reason why many don't have sufficient savings
