The Chinese consumers are boycotting us, so let's return the favor. It is difficult but I do when I can.

[Caipirabob]

Lol...then they’ll be stuck with chinese made crap, which even they know is crap. American goods are prized because the quality is so much better. They are trusted. Not stuff made in China.

[SkyDancer]

Those American brands are made in China therefor they’re just hurting themselves.

[a fool in paradise]

I’m shunning many American brands too, get woke-go broke

[Gay State Conservative]

I've been boycotting Chinese made goods for years.

[shelterguy]

I don’t have any money to spend. I’m still trying topay for all those 8 tracks I got from Columbia House back in 1982.

Oh well, maybe next year.

[DoughtyOne]

Don't think about demoⁿcRats getting their lunch handed to them.

Here... worry about this instead. Not working here...

[ladyjane]

Don’t worry. Many many companies have hi tailed it out of China. They are now all in India, South Korea, Japan and other places.

[davidb56]

And just what American products do we sell them during Christmas season??? how about nothing except FOOD....go ahead and ESAD chinese.

[Wilderness Conservative]

That okay, Hop Sing cuz round eye catching on.

[Balding_Eagle]

I think America can get along without the Chinese. It may take a bit but we can even live better without them stealing stuff from us like they do now.

It’s BS virtue signaling. They’ll buy the best combo of price and quality they can get. Note also that Uncle Xi is watching, via the social credit score, so virtue signaling actually gets them tangible benefits. In reality, though, even Dolce & Gabbana, which had any number of distribution relationships terminated in wake of an overblown “racism” Chinese fire drill, is still racking up significant Chinese sales.

Chinese shoppers say they would shun American brands. . .

Uh-huh. What else are they gonna say? Do you think they want to get disappeared one-by-one like Hong Kong rioters or something?

Oh, and by the way: Thanks, Google, for helping the Chinese Communist Party keep about 1 billion people surveilled for their responses to surveys like this.

(Wasn't Google's corporate motto, "Don't do evil"? Nobody virtue-signals like a Progressive hypocrite.)

[mrsmith]

They better! Big Brother is watching!

Yeah, let’s return the favor, freely.

[TribalPrincess2U]

who buys that crap anyway. Everything I have bought sucks, and misrepresented.
Takes forever to get refunds. I’ll go to a store...any store so I can feel and examine. If I buy an it is no right I can take it back all in one day. I HATE online buying. Thank goodness for pay pal.....so far.

[Socon-Econ]

They couldn’t say anything else without fearing that their views would become known to the social credit scorers.

[Gator113]

I do not knowingly buy anything from China and haven’t for many years.

[a fool in paradise]

Apparently Nike and the NBA think Chinese are a big market for their products.

[Bommer]

Oh no! Chinks are boycotting products that they don’t import from us anyways. Sorry, they need us more than we need them!

[CincyRichieRich]

Sure they would if their dictator threatened them with death. Of course they have to or they could be sent to the re-education camp. The Chinese press is about as believable as the US press.
