Several years ago, there was an email going around warning people that Christmas Lights and Christmas Decorations made in China were the product of forced labor by Chinese Christians who had been arrested for their faith. Evidently, it gave the Jailers a kind of sick pleasure knowing that they could make money from American Christians by torturing and enslaving Chines Christians.
I have never bought a single Christmas light set since, and my old ones are burning out. It is impossible to find ones NOT made in China.
I do not know if this is the case. Such people might take cheer from the idea that they are helping Western Christians celebrate Christmas, in spite of their earthly circumstance — if matters of God truly are uppermost in their thoughts, as rigorous conditions tend to do in the lives of genuine believers. In a way it’s like the Chinese-made Christmas cards I see in some dollar and discount stores. I buy them in good conscience because they’re a witness in the factory that makes them.
The thought of buying Christmas decorations made in Communist China is repulsive to me
