Boycott Chinese products!

[Kwon]

Which god would that be? Heck, the Hindus have thousands

There is only ONE real God

[Griffith]

I'm not boycotting anything. Where else would I get electronics?

Japan, South Korea, Europe.

[Hypertrophy]

Try 330 million.

I don't see people boycotting cheap Chinese products. If anything it will intensify as the Chinese government will look to do damage limitation, so shoddy Chinese manufacturers will be forced to shut down or produce better quality goods.

Give it a few months and people will adjust to the new normal. Give it 18 months and everyone will be back to their consumerism and Islam will be the big baddie again.

It's easy to tell you have zero experience in business. Supply chains are already being rerouted and a number of my main vendors are sourcing outside China. A lot of them have said this was the last straw. The trade war will escalate after the 2020 election and China will suffer a depression. So much for your Islam theory.

Agreed.   It is easier to make a difference than you think.   Read all labels, start with the easiest products to avoid.   In Costco yesterday there were frozen shrimps from China, Vietnam, and Argentina.   Pretty easy to not buy the Chinese product even though it was marginally cheaper.    Be vocal with your local political representatives.   Critical supply chains must be moved back to the US.  Do not vote Dem in November.  Biden was VP while hundreds of thousands of US jobs were exported to China.   His family benefited significantly as both his son and brother enriched themselves with Chinese cash.   Biden does not possess the stomach or mental acuity for the battles ahead.

Yes, I made a post about this recently.

And before the Black Death, the Justinian Plague of the Eastern Roman Empire also originated from the Far East, probably China as well, as they had contact with them via trade.

Bubonic Plague, the Black Death still exists in China and there were cases at the end of last year.

Seems almost every plague since 550 AD has originated from China.

Recently there has been Bird Flu, Swine Flu, SARS and now COVID-19, all these worldwide pandemics in under 20 years and the recent one probably the biggest global disaster since the Second World War.

Unfortunately our business "leaders" and politicians are scared of china, and still think we can't do without them economically. But: the deadly diseases that have been coming out of china for at least 1,500 or 2,000 years are causing more damage to our economies than all trade benefits combined I think
Not even mentioning the hundreds of millions of deaths....

More than 1,000 years of recurring pandemics and the chinese people still are unwilling to change their filthy sadistic eating habits.
Same for their corrupt communist leaders

Our politically overcorrect media don't even dare to state the virus came from china. They just bend over and cooperate with the chinese lies and fake news campaigns

actually you have zero experience in business.  Greed is what drives all business, you really think all businesses care about their customers lol,  so they will buy Low and sell high, they will buy the cheapest and sell.  give this a couple of months, business will go about the usual.  Business is built upon greed.  Just know that china makes shit products, thats commonsense, but business will always buy the cheapest.

[Skylge]

I have to agree with china making shit products, but at one point you have to blame the people that bought chinese products, and the people that brought the virus to the US.  Some of the tourist are to blame, why it spread to the US, but again, if this is all BASED on some chinese guy really eating a dirty bat.  WE still don't know the story, just conspiracies, hell half the people here belive 9/11 is an 'insider job", "world is flat".  So i dont know the origin of the virus, BUT one thing i do know is... Chinese makes SHIT products.

6th century AD: bubonic plague. Origin: Tianshan mountains, china. 50 million dead worldwide

year 1347: bubonic plague. Origin: Hubei / Wuhan, china. 200 million people dead worldwide

year 1855: bubonic plague. Origin: Yunnan province, china. 12 million dead worldwide

year:1968: Hong Kong flu. Origin: Hong Kong / china. 1 million dead worldwide

year:2002: SARS. Origin: Guangdong province, china. 774 dead worldwide

year:2019: COVID-19 virus. Origin: Hubei / Wuhan, china. > 100,000 dead worldwide

Notice a pattern?

but was it from a bat, or was it from a top secret lab, so secret that everyone knows about the lab

No one is saying boycott products. It's boycott China. You can get electronics from America, Japan, South Korea...

Somebody gets it.

It is very common that when somebody doesn't give a shit about anything and how evil a country is and always grows complacent they assume others are like them.

Is that what you do? Just always buy what's cheaper?

What happens when someone decides to enter the same market using a cheap Chinese supplier as the business not using the Chinese supplier?

What happens when the Chinese supplied business sells it's goods at a cheaper price whilst still making more per unit sold? How long before the non Chinese supplied business starts to struggle?

[tommywishbone]

They did build us some good railroads.

I don't think the US will be doing business as usual with the Chinese.

That could very well depend on who is in power at the end of the year.

[anabolicguru]

no, but that is most business practice, Buy low sell High.  it sucks, but EVERYONE is always looking to make a buck in the most cheapest way.  I wish it was different, but it is a dog eat dog world of business

[anabolicguru]

it doesn't stop US from doing business with middle east, korea, russia, etc.  In the end, its always always about money, this will be forgotten soon.  Slavery, War, drugs, hell murder in general, for the most part is about $$

No, it won't be forgotten soon. Will this be just a distance memory to you next year? A country does this to us and to the world and you will just shrug it off and forget about it? Isn't it obvious that this time it's different? This is something that hit everybody at home in their personal lives. Are you really the kind of man that just let's this slide without reprecussions? Do you have any family that you are responsible for? Having to put food on the table and a roof over their heads? Having this threatened. Having them go without a formal education? You're just going to forget about this so you can buy cheap junk you don't need anyway? Really? Is that the kind of man you have become?

[Bevo]

Then we buy from Germany and Japan. And the quality of American products are some of the best in the world. It depends on how much you want to pay. No matter what you buy: cars, air conditioners, dirt bikes, guns, the quality you get is determined on how much you want to pay. It is not accurate to say that Japan and Germany make better products across the board than Americans. Chinese makes crap across the board.

After what China did to us, what they continue to do to us today and in the past, people will be more willing than ever to make sacrifices to crush China. The government has to make an active campaign reminding people of this. Just like they do with smoking, drinking, drunk driving and vaping...  

What exactly do Americans build that are of quality? Their cars were shit for decades and still a lot of them are still. A lot of them are outsourced to mexico, Canada and China also

Funny thing is Honda, Toyota, bmw, Mercedes, nissan, etc... have a lot more their cars built in the US by Americans

[Bevo]

Japan, South Korea, Europe.

Try finding electronics these days that are made in japan or Europe that are cheap and affordable, South Korea has a lot of junk too. A lot of their washing machines, refrigerators are junk

People don’t want expensive shit, they want cheap stuff

Quality and America don’t go hand in hand in modern times

time will tell, but I hope you are right and i am wrong.  I do hate knowing that it always always comes to money, BUT i do hope its different this time

Napalm. Chinese people react poorly to napalm.

You think our cars are shit. The Ford 150 is shit? The Mustang is shit? The Corvette is shit? Tesla is shit? The Hellcat is shit? Smith and Wesson, Ruger, Remington are shit? Apple is shit? Windows are shit? Our military hardware and planes are shit? Our food production, the largest in the world, that feeds more people in the world than any other country, is shit?

The fact that foreign manufacturers have their cars built here is proof that we don't make shit. There's a reason America leads the world and has the biggest economy.

STFU with your American bashing. Look around you. You wouldn't have nearly the quality of life you have if it was for American products. Why don't you do yourself a favor and don't buy a single item that comes from America? You can't do it.

You tell us what country sells only high-quality goods? What kind of cell phone do you have? What kind of computer? What kind of Washer and Dryer?
