Viper,
I don't disagree, but Walmart is the 800 lb gorilla, retail-wise.

But then, with China potentially feeling a pinch, who would buy our Treasuries that prop up this fiscal house of cards, we call the US
economy, national debt and "banking" system?

Back at the X1 ranch, I wish it were coming sooner and was not so
pricey, as the CEO is due for a replacement for her pos CR-V in the
next month(s) or so...

It's almost next to impossible. Just check the tag on your underwear.

If Wal-Mart went back to supporting American made products, it would put China out of business and the rest of the world back to work.

My proposal would be to have side by side products with a Chinese flag and an American flag. Let's say the American product was $20 more, which would I chose? Obvious

I think the X1 assembled in China will have the same quality because a German company is overseeing the production. Still given a choice at the dealership between an X1 assembled in Germany and one assembled in China? At the same price or $5,000 cheaper? Dunno

Not me. I wouldn't touch a chinese BMW with a 10 foot pole. I'd switch to a different model or manufacturer. On principle alone. I don't care if the entire workforce is German, the factory shouldn't be in communist china.
