So what kind of American goods can you buy in American daily life? Are there really very few American goods? Is the American manufacturing situation really bad? With reporters in the US for nearly 5 years, Americans can buy a lot of American goods in various aspects, such as food, clothing and so on. The manufacturing industry in the United States is still developed and its output value is very high.

In terms of food, most fresh foods are produced in the United States. Many processed foods such as canned peach, cheese cake and even Beijing yogurt produced by Chinese businessmen are also made in the United States. In terms of clothing, although most clothing shoes and hats are made in developing countries such as Asia, Africa and Latin America, some "made in the United States" products can be seen from time to time.

In August 2015, he reached the biggest deal in his life, and spent $37 billion 200 million to buy the precision casting of the engineering group, placing a huge stake in the US manufacturing industry. The so-called "decline in the US manufacturing industry" is actually an illusion. In fact, it still maintains excellent competitiveness.
