Just a rhetorical question but - When are we all going to start boycotting Chinese goods?

Question

Since they clearly do not care about the health and safety of their own people/environment, let alone anyone elses, are we going to continue buying their products? I am not - I am now going to check carefully and not buy ANYTHING made in China.

Answer 1

What and put all those people in Walmart and Costco out of work?

Answer 2

Unfortunately I forsee a vicious cycle . People who don't have much of a budget will continue to buy Chinese products . China will make more and these same people will buy more . They don't realize that by buying Chinese , they are insuring that their own financial status will never improve . They stay poor or somewhat poor and China keeps making stuff for them to buy . Because they're poor or somewhat poor , they'll continue to buy these Chinese products . And so on and so on . Then they'll vote for whoever 'says' they're gonna 'help' them . A vicious cycle !!
Maybe if we could just convince them to not buy any food products , . . . people food and dog food . That might be a good place to start .

Answer 3

You may find that easier said than done as many products that originate from China have final assembly in the USA thereby obtaining a "Made In USA" stamp or sticker. In addition Chinese products are everywhere and the only way to boycott 100% would be to move to the mountains and live like a hermit.

Answer 4

What do you mean start?
I boycott Chinese goods any time I can but the problem is there are some products that are now only made in China.
An example of this is the last time I went to buy a phone every phone I looked at in every store I went to was made in China.
If you want to boycott Chinese goods go ahead.

Answer 5

Very good question I like it and here it is when the Government and corporate America, quit out sourcing products that should be made in America,to places like China,for cheap almost child slavery labor and the government quit making all of these deals for foreign exports to this country from countries like China,that make cheap knockoffs of American products that send them back to this country to sell back to the American consumer and the big finale is when Americans,themselves quit buying the products them selves and boycott and speak out on the products from China,that are flooding the hell out of the American economy is that a good enough answer for you?

Answer 6

Everything is made in China. Youre going to have to boycott your clothes!
I actually just learned that most of the wheat we use is grown in China! When did that happen?
Boycotting products isnt the way to go, we need to replace globalism-minded politicians in the next election.

Answer 7

Right after people close WalMart, Target and all the discount stores that purchase these products and meet the massive demand for inexpensive products to people who consume things they don't need like overfed Goldfish.

Answer 8

Good luck--there was a book written recently- don't know the title off hand-but its by a woman who decided with her family not to buy Chinese goods for a year. You might want ot check it out.

Answer 9

And we do care about the safety and health of ours! Take off your blinders, as they breath uranium particles from those depleted uranium shells in tanks!

I suggest the first thing we do is stop financing a war on CHINESE money!

And what are you gong to do about those sweatshops who hire illegals on no bid government contracts? What are you going to do about them?

I think we have enough issues here to keep us busy for a hundred years!

Answer 10

What's stopping you from starting? I've been avoiding Chinese products for years.

Answer 11

The best way is to make thier minimum wage the same as ours. We need a world minimum wage. Just think no more children/sweat shops on this planet.
