Behind the Observation of Items Made in China
On May 12, 2008, we visited Wal-Mart in Angrinon to check where its merchandise items were made. Considering what we investigated, we discovered that most Wal-Marts merchandise items were made in China. For grocery department, however, Wal-Marts soup merchandise is mostly made in Canada locally. Behind this observation, it seems that the goal of Wal-Mart is to “lower the costs”.

We select baby fashion (from 0 to three months years old), computer and computer accessory, and grocery (soup) to make the research because these merchandise items are widely used and common for Wal-Marts customers. Here are the tables to show where the items are made.
