Why do people act like Walmart is the only one that does this? A lot of this is snobbery because Walmart is considered "low class" unlike the local outfits which have similar items also made overseas only they jack up the prices more.

I don't even understand this mindset. NO store is immune from "junk" from China or other Asian countries. It has been going on since the 1980s.
