Letter: To Help Ukraine, Boycott Chinese Goods
March 17, 2023
China has taken to aiding with Russia to help support the Russian economy. The trade between China and Russia has escalated and China has taken to buying Russian oil, the most profitable export from Russia. At the beginning of 2023 Russia’s economy has started to show signs of stress but the Ukrainian economy has tanked.
The UN General Assembly passed a resolution (12/10/2022) by a large majority on Wednesday, calling on countries not to recognise the four regions of Ukraine which Russia has claimed, following so-called referendums held late last month, and demanding that Moscow reverse course on its "attempted illegal annexation".
Russia voted NO and China abstained
By propping up a belligerent Russia that nation is committing crimes against humanity. China has Ukraine’s blood on its hands.
To help Ukraine achieve peace I am joining with others to boycott Chinese goods. China is one of the few countries aiding Russia where a boycott would have effect. Please join me and check those labels when you shop.

Well we just learned the Biden's certainly aren't boycotting China. Heck, the whole family lovse doing business with China.
" House Republicans announced Thursday that President Joe Biden’s relatives received a combined $1.3 million from a business associate with links to China, the latest salvo in an investigation the Biden administration has dismissed as politically motivated.
Hunter Biden, the president’s son; James Biden, the president’s brother; Hallie Biden, the president’s daughter-in-law; and a fourth unnamed Biden received the payments from business associate Rob Walker, according to the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. The money was paid out after Walker received a $3 million wire transfer from a Chinese company, according to the panel."

Nice sentiment, but good luck actually living without Chinese goods. The way to do that is to start making things here again. Is the author dumping their iPhone?

Imagine in the 1960s, 70s, if someone said, "Hey, let's offshore our entire manufacturing base, including components vital to national defense, to China and the USSR and to countries within their sphere of influence." They would be laughed out of the boardroom. Now they get a bonus for wrecking their company.
