Stop Buying Made In China

It's enough.

Stop supporting China.

Bring it all home boys.

Back in the 1990s the thinking was if we traded with China it was the best avenue to eventually lead the country into a free and open democratic society.

After 30 years, I think it's safe to say that won't happen. The country remains authoritarian and its human rights record is an abomination by Western standards.

China won't change.

What we do know, is they expect the West to change now that we helped them garner all the leverage through economic trade deals and policies.

Just see the episode with what happened with the NBA. The NBA's inexcusable and embarrassing bowing to Chinese demands should have been a wake up call.

They haven't exactly been forthright with the corona virus (is it me or are people extra irrational this time around?) and I'm guessing they're still not telling us the full story. They're simply not a trustworthy country.

So why deal with a nation that's not responsible and transparent choosing instead to 'save face' to preserve whatever bull shit idea of pride they have.

What can be done?

One way is to stop buying anything made in China wherever you can. Pay the premium for Made in Canada or USA or whatever.

Hasbro is getting it right by cutting production in China and handing it over to Vietnam and India. Far more friendlier places and with India, the largest democracy in the world. You can work with that.

Hit China where it matters most: In the pocket and wallet.

You don't want a closed and disrespectful China making our medicine and other important goods and services.

Quality isn't their essence.

Now with the coronavirus (which in part exists because of China's low hygienic practices) and the political games China is playing with it, it's about time we draw a line in the sand.

Time to stand up for Western interests.

Do we have dignity or not?
