>avoid Chinese goods because of shit like this.
Wie bitte???
This hurts you far more than it does China. Use systemic, not individual, actions instead (insofar as you can). Vote for political admins likely to respond to Chinese human rights violations, support protest movements, etc.

At least with a personal boycott, I keep my peace of mind and diminish the number of Chinese goods in my possession. Voting doesn't exactly have the same direct effect.
- spectramax 7y agoIt is an irrational emotion driven thing for me. It is sort of like not going to a particular amazing popular restaurant just because the service isn't good - it hurts me by not going to the restaurant and enjoying their incredible food but it becomes a matter of principle. Gandhi protested the British by spinning up his own yarn and making his own clothes, it is the concept not the objective ROI of his decision to not buy British-made goods.
