Not at all a defense, — tim wood
So you should only boycott countries that engage in racism...nothing else warrants a boycott. The Chinese can bang people up just for being gay , muslim or pro-democracy, the liberal left is alright with that. — Chester
My point is that it is not the political rights that constantly bleats about workers rights . It is the liberal left that pretends to care. — Chester
our argument seems to imply that poor(er) people are unable to choose better options with regard to what they purchase...they will always buy the cheapest goods, — Chester
The right said bring it on, now they realise their own economies have been undercut by it, they are putting up the barriers. The left certainly in the UK have been in the doldrums and powerless unlookers during the charade.Globalism is really an excuse to exploit cheaper labour and have less stringent environmental/safety standards...and like you say it is the "right" that is rebelling whilst the virtue signally left stands by.
I've already said the government should put taxes on Chinese goods. — Chester
A lot of people in the UK are very angry at what the Chinese have done and a boycott movement could come into being. — Chester
As some commentators have predicted, China’s rise to power will heavily alter the political and cultural landscape of the future. China’s entrance into the world market has made them a big player. Now western companies and bureaucracies have to kowtow to Chinese influence, for fear of loosing that market. Unfortunately China’s rise hasn’t made them more like us; it has made us more like them. — NOS4A2
