Stop buying from China means essentially buying nothing with a semiconductor. Unless you mean something else.

Stop buying from China means essentially buying nothing with a semiconductor. Unless you mean something else.
- sockaddr 4y agoWell, there are many things in your life that you buy from China that don't have a semiconductor in it. For instance, I was shocked to find out that a lot of "Brazilian" honey was actually rebranded corn syrup imported from China and cut with low-grade Chinese honey, this all to get around U.S. import restrictions due to the lack of quality/safety regulation in China. It's expensive, it's tiring, it's hard. But, in the end I feel it's worth it for the safety of my family and others. Whether it's honey, a sketchily-soldered power supply, or some completely fake lithium ion battery for your vacuum that only has 25% of rated capacity and might burn your house down, it's best to stay away from the Chinese option if you can.
- LarryMullins 4y agoHoney is one of those things where you're best off buying it from a local producer, or not at all.
- sockaddr 4y agoTotally agree. After spending tons of time trying to find a reputable supplier the answer ended up being either: 1) I need to befriend a local beekeeper 2) I need to pick up beekeeping You may think, that's too much work but really the honey you're buying at the store stands a really good chance of simply being sugar with only a trace of honey. Not good for you.
- anonymouskimmer 4y agoThe local honey unfortunately shreds my intestines. :( But I haven't really had honey since then so the point is moot.

- tomComb 4y agoIf you buy Samsung stuff instead of Apple you are significantly reducing the amount of China made stuff. No need to let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
