It's been a long time since I've posted anything .

. . this might be a good time to throw out something. So far Covid-19 has claimed 323,000 lives worldwide. Millions have lost their jobs. Hundreds of thousands of businesses have had to close. People are being plunged into poverty. And why? It is because the Chinese Communist government lied to the world. The Communists "disappeared" journalists and silenced doctors who were warning the world about the outbreak. The Communist government sealed off Wuhan from the rest of China while allowing thousands of people to fly to other countries from there. If China had been truthful, 95% of the current Covid-19 cases and deaths could have been prevented. China has shown zero remorse. So what to do? Don't buy anything made in China ever again. We cannot continue to financially support Communists who have behaved so recklessly and callously. So, I am asking all of you: no matter how good something looks, no matter how cheap it is, no matter how much you may want it--if it says "Made in China," pass it up. Whenever we buy things made in China, we are fueling the Communist Chinese military machine and supporting the repression of human rights. Boycotting China is what we can do RIGHT NOW to make the Communists pay for what they have done to the world!

Ive always liked this idea, long before this virus ever started. I don't want to support anything I don't agree with but the reality of it would be really hard for the average person, on a budget especially. It would take real discipline and self control from each individual and Im not sure we're capable of that on such a large scale. It would be amazing to see! I guess it starts with one person, like anything.

Ironically, we have been buying a lot of medical supplies from china because they are more readily available there than here. So I would say we have to wait for a general boycott until our own manufacturing can catch up...

I would say that I agree that american manufacturing ought to be invested in where possible. Why do so many people buy german and japanese cars when american cars are fine?

I mean, we were already in the midst of a trade war with China with tariffs. Why not step that up to embargo, once we are more in control of this pandemic? That would be far harsher for china and more effective than individuals deciding not to buy certain goods.

On the other hand, they are one of the most powerful country's in the world, with a lot of influence, especially regionally...they can make diplomatic life a lot harder for the US if they really wanted to. So official action might be the wrong way to go for that reason.

Car parts for both foreign and domestic car manufacturers come from China. Just because I it is assembled here does not mean China does not profit.

In hospitals I bet their equipment is the same way.

that is interesting. Still, I prefer to buy american in any case.

I do recall seeing said on an "american car" once that 80 percent of the parts came from Korea, if I remember correctly. There may be other options for companies if they had the desire...though I would not be surprised if China would generally be the cheaper option for them. Tariffs can potentially change that.

Basically the op is mad at china for giving us covid 19.

Because of this, he'd like us all to blacklist any products with 'made in china' on it.

Thanks. I try to avoid things made in china anyway.

We dont really know who "intentionally induced" the "virus". Most evidence is second hand evidence so people could be holding innorcent people to blame.

We dont know for ourselves. Its a leap of faith and a leap of faith to think that others were not also involved who are not in China

Let's see....

Eight BILLION people on earth

So far Covid-19 has claimed 323,000 lives worldwide.

Subtract 323,000
___________

= 7,999,677,000.......

We got problems far bigger than China or this superstar "virus" we have lowered our head to.
The kettle has been warmed up and right now everyone's catching their breath - the appearance of "normality" is slowly returning and the enemy is no longer wearing a mask.....but everyone else seems to be.

aren't you just sick of the stupidity? maybe you're not disgusted enough and can still think it's funny.

i'm so sick of humans running around acting like freakin retards to each other so they can screw each other out of pieces of green paper we made almost completely meaningless and 100% valueless in the 60s.

the complexity you're talking about just compounds the stupidity into a concentrated stupidity bomb that is more dangerous to humanity than any military weapon.

Many americans need to read the facts and not just listen to what a racist president says as he blatantly twists the truf to justify his own goals.

The WHO says it was told by China of "a pneumonia of an unknown cause" on 31 December 2019.

On 12 January, China publicly shared the genetic sequence for the new coronavirus.

On 20 and 21 January, a regional WHO team visited Wuhan.

A public statement was issued by the WHO on 22 January setting out what they had discovered.

On 28 January, Dr Tedros went to Beijing to discuss the outbreak with China's leaders.

On 14 January, the WHO tweeted: "Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission."

But the same day, the head of the WHO's emerging diseases unit, Maria van Kerkhove, appeared to contradict this, suggesting to journalists that "limited" human-to-human transmission had been observed in Wuhan. She did however stress that there was no clear evidence of "sustained" transmission between people.

It wasn't until 22 January that the WHO confirmed there was clear evidence of human-to-human transmission in Wuhan.

The WHO has denied media reports that it delayed making this evidence public at China's request.

The US restricted travel from China and other countries from 2 February.

But there is no record of the WHO publicly criticising this move.

And it would have been highly unusual for it to do so.

But it had, on 10 January, put out advice recommending no international travel restrictions in response to the virus.

And this was reconfirmed in a statement at the end of February, saying travel bans were not usually that effective and could have an adverse social and economic impact, although they might be justified for a short period of time at the start of an outbreak.

It's certainly the case that the WHO has publicly praised China's response to the coronavirus outbreak and its "commitment to transparency", something that has clearly angered the US president in recent weeks.

However, many other experts and political leaders, including Mr Trump, have also praised China's initial response to the outbreak.

The big difference between trump praising china and the WHO praising china is that trump had intelligence reports warning him how bad the virus could be and that it was probably coming to the usa while he was prasing china for doing such a good job.
