As a millennial, I go to pretty significant lengths to avoid Chinese-made products and gladly pay quite a bit more to do so. I'm personally very aligned with Taiwan independence.
- hu3 6y agoCool. What phone do you use?
- Hedepig 6y ago> ...I go to pretty significant lengths to avoid Chinese-made product... Not sure where I saw them say > I don't buy Chinese-made products
- hu3 6y agoNeither did I. What's your point?
- f1refly 6y agoNo, what's your point?
- hu3 6y agoif it wasn't clear already, same as TeMPOraL. Do you have a point? Instead of this meaningless conversation I'd kindly suggest you use your majorly Chinese made phone and laptop to reply to that message instead. If you have something to add that is.

- Hedepig 6y agoYes okay then, I confess to being pre-emptive As already asked, what point are you trying to make?

- Hedepig 6y agoNo, it wasn't clear, maybe it's a reflection my own insight, I can only apologise for jumping the gun. It appeared to me as if you were making an attack on the sentiment of reducing Chinese purchases, because the replier obviously can't be avoiding Chinese brands completely because he uses a mobile phone.
- hu3 6y agoOh. Yea we were talking past each other in this case but we do agree. I'm should have written in a more comprehensive manner about how pervasive Chinese manufacturing is on our daily lives.
- Hedepig 6y agoAs I say, it was, at least in part, my fault for jumping the gun by reading what doesn't exist between the lines. And yes, it is nigh impossible to escape unless we are willing to live as we did 100+ years ago Have a good day.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoWonder what the lengths are. Anything that you can share, particularly that could scale to more people? Serious question. I wouldn't even know how to approach it. China is the world's factory - throw a dart at a random non-food storefront, and anything it hits was almost surely made entirely or in part in China. Hell, a quite a lot of locally-made products get packaged in China. I personally know of local producers in Poland that send their products to China to be packaged there and sent back - it turns out it's much cheaper to do that, even accounting for multi-month round trip on a container ship, than to pay locals to do the packaging...
