- jhvkjhk 5y ago> This organization is ... not against Chinese people in China or abroad. It's funny that many anti-China people/organization likes to claim they are only against Chinese government, not the Chinese people. Everything they advocate is directly hurting Chinese people. Will stop buying Chinese product benefit Chinese people? Will stop buying Xinjiang cotton benefit Xinjiang people? Will subvert CCP and inject an US controlled government benefit Chinese people? No! No! No! These actions can only benefit those hypocrites who imagine they are Messiah. They don't care Chinese people dead or alive yet they say they are not against them.
- gher-shyu3i 5y agoIt will put pressure on the CCP to act like humans. The same happened with France and their anti-Islamic rhetoric after the Muslim population boycotted French products. The CCP is already committing atrocities against its Muslim population, and a stop needs to be put to it.
- Simulacra 5y agoI take OP's point but...the Chinese people guard the concentration camps, the Chinese people hack and attack other nation's infrastructure, and the Chinese people are ultimately the ones who put the bullet in the gun to kill you. Say what you will about the Chinese government, but it is still the Chinese people that keep it in power. The people are not blameless.
- nabla9 5y ago> The people are not blameless. That's not a reason to be against people.
- dfxm12 5y agoSay what you will about the Chinese government, but it is still the Chinese people that keep it in power. This could be debatable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index#Asia_and_Australasia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index#Asia_and_Austr...
- jhvkjhk 5y agoIf you lives in China you will know Muslim and all other minority is privileged in China. Yet the media likes to render them as slaves. Then they can show they are the only humanist.
- gher-shyu3i 5y agoThe Uighur Muslims are forbidden from practicing their religion, and are force fed pork and wine. They're prohibited from fasting in Ramadhan. They are exploited in factories. This is well known, don't deny it.
- jhvkjhk 5y agoAdding "This is well known, don't deny it" won't make your saying automatically turns to truth. Let me show you some number, there are 24 thousands masjids in Xinjiang now (only 1.4 thousands in 1980s). If their religion is forbidden, why the number of masjids is growing?
- bobiny 5y agoDo you have a source on the numbers? I found a 2020 article stating that ~16000 mosques (65%) were destroyed, mostly since 2017 https://www.aspi.org.au/report/cultural-erasure https://www.aspi.org.au/report/cultural-erasure
- bigphishy 5y agoI'm an egalitarian who loves all people, I've lived in China, and I especially like their women. It's precisely that reason why I am against the dictatorship of the CCP. Look at their disregard for the biosphere and for nature, or the overfishing by Chinese fishing vessels. It is abhorrent.

- Simulacra 5y agoThis is a wonderful idea! To purchase products made in China is, let's be real, indirectly supporting genocide and human rights abuses. Not buying from China, or anything made in China, is going to be extremely difficult but it's a small step.
- ARandomerDude 5y agoOn the other hand, $OTHER_COUNTRY has a history of $BAD_THING, so the only conscientious thing to do is boycott everything their workers produce too.
- taylodl 5y agoExactly. Many Americans, for example, seem perfectly content to overlook or ignore the war crime atrocities committed by the United States during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars after 9/11. Reminds me when Jesus asked who do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? As a Cold War kid I've come to despise this whole WE are the good guys, THEY are the bad guys narrative. It ignores the fact everybody has good traits and everybody has bad traits - that is it ignores the fact we're all human. None of us have the market cornered on doing good. Or doing bad.
- bobiny 5y agoIn case of China there are concrete and contemporary things that people don't like. Like concentration camps. I dunno if boycot is an effective tool, but it's something. I think it's more important to stop the crime that is happening at the moment.
- taylodl 5y agoAnd we locked children in cages and separated them from their parents. You can find something to be outraged about in any country you care to look at.

- bobiny 5y agoI totally support local manufacturing. We are too dependent on China to make stuff. I love when China innovates (DJI) or drive prices down with creativity (Xiaomi). But much of China's competitiveness comes from poor treatment of people. China's secluded internet and constant surveilancy makes harder for people to speak up and express themselves differently that how "society" dictates.
- ksaj 5y agoSince you can search for products made in specific countries, wouldn't this have less of a racist appeal if it was called "Made Here" instead of "Not Made There"? For example, I live in Canada and like to buy things made here. This site would be useful for that, regardless of my feelings about Chinese (or any other country's) products, government, etc.
- bobiny 5y agoRace is not a factor here. You can blame a gay person for bad actions without being a homophobe.

We’re also a fine resource if you’re looking for alternatives to Chinese-made products, given the country’s recent anti-Canadian actions."
