+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.


When the OP said suspicious, I took it to mean that she was referring to not really knowing what was in product like the lead in my kid’s Thomas the train toys, poison in dog food, etc…. I don’t use Tik Tok because it’s suspicious to me. Fentanyl by the way is also 100 percent coming from China (on purpose) also suspicious - this is according to DEA website. How is any of that racist. OP didn’t clarify what she meant but then I’m not quick to call someone racist When there is no evidence.

You are right that other genocides happen, but I wasn’t buying all my stuff from those countries and supporting it either. That is the big difference. By buying made in China, I’m supporting CCP and facilitating these crimes. No thanks.

I find that I buy a lot less, and the things I do buy have more meaning to me probably because there is less of it and it tends to be higher quality. When I give up on finding new, I turn to ebay and craigslist. I recently bought an old game on ebay from 1980 because it was not made in China - still in plastic wrap, never opened. Before I throw anything out, I ask myself if there is any use left in this item, because I know how hard it will be to replace. Some production has moved to Vietnam in the last several years which makes things easier. The worst is when you find something you love that's not made in China, then suddenly you find that now it is.



They don’t care.

What about not consuming as much, and trying to buy US made or used, or not buy at all? Most of us have too much crap anyhow.

But also we don't want the environmental mess. Americans love to over consume, it's so depressing.


JFC. How many threads are you going to start today? Don’t even attempt to deny it. Just how much attention do you need?

Have a look at the discussions about the "China Shock". The loss of manufacturing jobs in the US has been devastating to the interior of our country. I would guess that many of the men who stormed the Capitol on January 6 were victims of this policy.
