+1000 whoever OP is, the tone is so racist. It’s obvious the conversation you were trying to start with this.


I'm not OP, but I'm sick of people trying to shut down anyone who wants to discuss the genocide and human rights abuses in China by yelling out the word "racist."

It's very clear to those of us trying to have a conversation about not wanting to support a system that is enslaving, torturing, raping and killing innocent people by buying the stuff they are forced to make that we are not the ones that are racist. Go to any Uyghur restaurant in the area and ask them what they think. Ask them who is being racist. Try the Dolan restaurant chain.

Or go talk to Nury Turkel.

I used to wonder how the Holocaust happened. And now I know. No one cared. Then there are people like you yelling out racist trying to shut up anyone that wants to stop it or at least not help it happen.


Um, how does calling out the OP who does not mention human rights at all, but instead a racist barb at how suspicious lots of things being made in China is equal not standing up to a genocide? the tone with which this was started and throughout was not discussing human rights but talking about how China is the enemy, etc. I’m not defending any crimes committed, however If that’s the case what about the many other countries with human rights abuses? Why don’t we start a broader thread and list the humans rights abuses by country? Or how many genocides have happened since the Holocaust and what we can do? That’s not what this thread is.

Actually, Taiwan has a big economic relationship with China. Mainland China is a huge market any Taiwanese business would be foolish to ignore.
Xi Jinping's wife has family in Taiwan. In fact, many Taiwan have family over in the Mainland.

You wouldn't know this because the American media doesn't talk about the prolific economic exchange that goes on between these two.


That's true, however if China invades a lot of Taiwanese will go to prison. I watched Ai Weiwei's "Cockroach," a documentary on the Hong-Kong protests. It was shocking to see how easily it is to crush a pro-democracy movement. At the beginning, almost 2 million people marched in the street. In Hong Kong, there are many people in prison that had come to Hong Kong to escape China. I'm thinking specifically of Jimmy Lai, and in most cases these people have been sent back to China for nothing other than supporting democracy.

If Americans had to produce as much as they consume there would be a suicide epidemic.

80 percent of American jobs are bulls*it generators not needed and easily replaced by Chat GPT.

It’s unsustainable and will not be sustained.

I've just stopped buying most stuff unless it's absolutely necessary for life. Works for me, and not consuming all that cheap stuff from other countries any more.

This does mean I do more repair, and also more sewing, but it's worth it and has saved us $$$ by not being a mindless consumer.

Simple - Just don't buy it.
If you created market demand by purchasing it, the problem is you.
