In the 21st century, where are the products sold in Walmart stores made?

Walmart sells products made in many parts of the world: the United States, Mexico, Europe, but it is true that the majority of products that Walmart sells are made in China and other Asian countries.

This is because China and other Asian countries like Vietnam, have a comparative advantage in the production of many cheap goods, and the main goal of Walmart is to sell products that are cheap as possible.

How does Walmart currently treat their vendors (the factories and people who make products for Walmart stores) ?

Walmart is very exigent with its suppliers, because Walmart has a lot of market power, and most suppliers dream of having their goods sold at Walmart.

Walmart has a rulebook in which in details what it expects from its suppliers, and Walmart tracks the suppliers performance and record based on it.
