Not Made in China

[DealorNoDeal]

I swear as God is my witness; I will go out of my way to NEVER buy anything made in China ever again.

Who’s with me?

Why not just consume less stuff, full stop? Kills 2 birds with one stone. Helps save the planet and fecks over PRC.

[NotAllThere]

At least they don't leak bat virus shizz.

Give it time.

The software for this forum has been contributed to by Chinese developers...

A cause for celebration, surely?

It is patently untrue that the Western media hasn't a bad word to say about PRC. See: Uighurs | World | The Guardian

Good on the Grauniad for reporting that, even just one story a month ago. *Generally* it is still true that the Western media gives China a free pass. As well as helping us ignore the horrors of the Chinese regime, our news outlets repeat CCP statements without caveat. Blind eye on China, angry eye on Washington...

The Financial Times have been covering the Uighurs and their plight for years.

Pay £1 for a four week trial and go and search for their articles of the past year... the monitoring of cities containing tens of millions of inhabitants is as impressive as it is insane.

Very true. But we can stop buying their tulip.

You do see the irony of your post, don't you?

In case you missed it, I've highlighted the 2 bits that go together

[Whorty]

True, apart from Mondi being a complete twunt and the big riots that were previously going on.

Dangerous place when it kicks off there, as I have personally witnessed.

You don't want to have a car accident there for example

Or be a young woman who gets gang raped!

No doubt unixman will now revise his views on Western media.

I just dumped my two Ming Vases in the bin.

A good, Made in Britain bin?
