Best Dog Treats Not Made in China
Sadly, it took the illnesses and deaths of thousands of dogs to wake up the world in 2007 to the utter lack of morals of China manufacturers. While American brands itch to rush back to China, smart consumers and brands are saying, "not so fast".

- 3Date every checkEach guide shows when it was last verified, and we recheck picks when we update it.
Welcome to NoToChina.org
Welcome to NoToChina.org, where you can come to find the best products available that are not made in China.Imagine if you saw a product in a store that had a label that read “A portion of proceeds from purchases of this product will go to support the Communist Party of China”. Would you buy it? Of course not!

And yet, every time you purchase a product made in China, that’s exactly what you’re doing. At least 50% of the money you pay goes (via corporate taxes) directly to fund the China Communist Party’s arms production and military aggression, labor camps for their own people from Hong Kong to Xinjiang to Tibet, their surveillance state, their scientific “research” on things like bat viruses, their state-controlled propaganda, and their wanton disregard for worker’s rights, animal rights, intellectual property law, and the environment.
And that’s on top of the 50% that every worker in China, from the factory worker to the top executives, pays in income taxes.
And so if you’ve come to this site, you’re looking for an alternative to stuff made in China. And happily, there’s still some stuff out there. You just need to know where and how to look.
Who am I? I’m just a blogger who got a little tired of searching “not made in China” and finding sites that were outdated, misleading, and just plain wrong.
My goal on this site is ultimately to be the “Consumer Reports” or “Wirecutter” of Not Made in China products. Sadly, most consumer review sites don’t even bother to look at country of origin, mainly because like the rest of society they’ve been brainwashed into thinking that it doesn’t matter. But it does.
I should say that I don’t condone racism on this site toward anyone–in fact, I’ll come out and say that I don’t hold ill will towards any of people of China (which include both my parents). On the other hand, I also reject the notion that boycotting China’s corrupt government is in any way “racist”. Anyone suggesting this to you is not being honest.
The real culpability, frankly, lies with Western companies and politicians who since 2003 have put their personal fortunes over everything else, including making it easy for consumers to make our own choices. In my own little way, I’m just hoping to arm you with information that the Amazons and Walmarts of the world should be giving you.
