I don't know if "country of origin" tells the whole story. Might make a good first round gatekeeper, in general, but I'm sure there are many US companies that we may agree that we don't want to support. Maybe they donate to politicians or social causes that we don't like. Or let the consumer be the test personnel for their crappy QC? Just because they are "American", do they deserve a free pass?
So maybe not every foreign led company is as evil as we think? For example, I think Holosun is making some really good products. Yeah, I don't like the fact that they are made in China but the quality seems good and they offer a product for my needs that Trijicon does not. If I buy from Holosun, is my money going to the PRC? I don't know. What if it was going to a freedom loving business person stuck in that country? I don't know about that either, but the company seems to be very in tune with our market and needs. I'd love to see them move to the US, along with production. Unlikely, but I think you get my point. Maybe not every single living soul in China is bad? I know good and bad people from every background, including so-called Americans.
Would I rather support US companies, that have similar values that I/we support? Yep. I also think your family should be your highest priority, then country. Add religion in there, as you see fit. Maybe don't buy so many scopes, and support your chosen USA brand or made in the Philippines/Japan/South Korea/wherever. It's an extremely competitive market, but there are lots of choices for everyone.
