> trying to boycott Chinese made goods, regardless the cost. I'm in the position to be able to do that

Really? Did you post your comment by carrier pigeon?




I think the "wherever possible" is implied. Where does this kind of cheap-shot snark end? Shall we next post the We Should Improve Society Somewhat comic?

...besides, maybe they're posting from one of those Raspberry Pi Model Bs that were fabbed in the UK.

That is connected to a router made in China. And the keyboard and display, where were they made? My point is that it is pretty much unachievable and your "wherever possible" is just a get out of jail free card. Also it isn't a particularly laudable aim if we scale it up to the whole of society. We need the various countries in the world to be interdependent, we need China to need to sell to us.


I just bought an oven made in Turkey. I bought various 4WD mods manufactured in Australia. Keyboard was made by me using parts from USA and Germany. Another keyboard made in Taiwan.

China (aka East Taiwan) makes cheap shit. If you have money you can afford the better manufactured stuff from non tofu-dreg countries.

We need to divulge from China a much as possible and many companies are. It is not ethical to do business with a country that has concentration camps. Hopefully one day the ROC will reclaim power over China and clean all that up.
