sadly, it's only walmart, but virtually everything is now made in china. It's just that walmart will not hesitate to sell you something that would be considered the "bottom of the barrel" quality or safety wise. I never had any issues with chinese products, but they are just out of control now. Even on Ebay, most sellers are all shipping crap from china. wth!!! very frustrating. Cheap products may seem to be worth the savings at the begining, but really, you get what you pay for. China does make decent bicycles, but those bikes will also cost you $400-$500.
