The Chinese Government are no better than the Nazi Party of Germany. They are killing on a scale not seen since the Holocaust. Vaccine passports are a drop in the ocean compared to the Uyghur Genocide. |  |

“I squarely believe we ought to be trading liberally around the world. If we restrict it to countries with European convention on human rights-level standards of human rights, we’re not going to do many trade deals with the growth markets of the future.” Dominic Raab doesn’t agree. |  | | |

Makes you wonder how the EU justify buying their stuff too. Is it just that cheap stuff and increased margins top trumps everything? |  |

Chinese vaccine only passports at that...imagine going protectionist on that of all things. | |

They're even more 'in' with China that we are, with their recent trade deal. Think Germany has lots at stake there on exports.
(totally agree with your op btw - think we need to learn to live without being reliant on China, in addition to the morals of it.) [Post edited 18 Mar 2021 7:47]

People should be in no doubt whose interests these institutions at all levels, national or international serve! Let's stop pretending they have our best interests at their heart. So like all things I imagine meaningful change will have to come from the bottom up, just don't try protesting in any meaningful way or anything! | |

I believe there are campaigns getting going on not buying Chinese goods, maybe sparked by the cotton trade / abuse of Uighurs. I'd better look them up and put my money where my mouth is. | |

China is really bad at diplomacy. Every country and trading bloc are saying the same things about Hong Kong, Uighurs and a growing number of cyber attacks. Their response is that they are lies and international interference in domestic issues.
They need to get real and start addressing things. Denial and belligerence is not a long term foreign policy.
The reciprocal sanctions are meaningless. Most people wouldn't travel or trade with China personally if you paid them in the current climate. |  |

He's a Tory. They are the party of open, free markets and globalization. They are also pro-mass migration but lie to their voters about that and only sent us out of the EU to call UKIP's bluff expecting to win the referendum and when they lost spent years trying to find a way out of what they had done. What a mess they have made but Cameron needed those UKIP voters to win a majority in 2015 so promised the referendum. Now Cameron is tapping up Sunak for contracts for his friends. They must be removed. |  |

Sanctions on all sides here are a way of looking like something is being done but changes nothing.
Boycotting goods is the only way but those big corps have government officials too heavily lobbied (bribed) to take proper action. We can’t have a small bit of mass genocide ruining profits on trainers, technology and pointless cheap plastic cr@p no one really needs.
On an individual level, I’d recommend minimalism and being thoughtful on where you shop can help, but also as someone else mentioned here it ain’t easy.
Also, labour exploitation over the last decade should have really been taken more seriously before we got to this point. I hope this generation of human existence finally wakes up to the concept that sitting in one’s comfortable bubble and not being openly anti-slavery by acting ain’t gonna change sh1t. Politicians are largely inept, powerless or corrupted. [Post edited 27 Mar 2021 2:16]

If Raaaaaaaab says the sun is shining I check outside. He was responsible for DEXEU for a time and the uselessness of he and them beggared belief. I’m amazed the idiot is still in Government.
As for China, they are a rogue state. It’s no good labelling people like North Korea if you are going to let China off the hook. On top of trade dumping and appalling human rights abuse these people unleashed a world pandemic that has killed millions and destroyed economies. We should economically move away from any dependence on them as fast as possible. |  | | |

Worth noting "these people" should probably be swapped out for "the CCP", not that I think you are labelling the Chinese population as problematic based on your post history, but you know what racist thickos are like. | |

No, most definitely not labelling the people. It’s the last thing I’d do. The vast majority are the victims of the regime that runs that country. The same could be said of Russia, N Korea and any other totalitarian/dictatorship based regime. | | | |

I research as much as possible before I buy anything out of the ordinary to see if it's made in China. You will find any cheaper versions of the same item will have some sort of link to China, even if it's the piece parts made there. For people who want to buy cheap tat, it will invariably be made in China and wont last 5 minutes anyway. False economy. [Post edited 26 Mar 2021 15:00]

I do try to do that, but with certain parts of some things being made there, it is very difficult. Just wish we had the jobs and skills over here that we used to in the past. Sturdy well built items that lasted years (and in some cases still working well). Not so great when you want cheaper everyday items, like stationery, hygiene products, and find that a lot is made there. Wilko used to have everything made in Worksop - now it's all from there instead. | | | |

I worked for a prestigious tool company who sold out to the American dollar who subsequently moved production of piece parts to China. The pretext of this was that the Americans did not want to invest in updating environmental problems so exported the problem to China who are one of the biggest polluters in history. The quality plummeted along with the price so the quality of the final product now is now cr@p. Another great British company sold out by Americans and trashed by Chinese manufacturing. | | | |

I worked many years for an American company in Bury St Edmunds. Production of component parts were moved to India for castings and China for m/c'd parts. Most of the Chinese parts needed to be reworked to bring them into tolerance, but the true cost of this was hidden in a special account. That then appeared to show that great savings were being made by manufacturing in China. | | | |
