Time To Demonstrate Against Chinese Products
Vanity ^ | 8/5/19 | LRoggy

Posted on 08/05/2019 10:08:20 AM PDT by LRoggy

At work (investment manager) and noticed a CNBC blurb that China is now NOT BUYING our Ag products.

It's time to send a message.

Time to go to parking lots and show our disdain for those thieves.

Steve Ballmer, co-founder of Microsoft, made remarks a while back that "90% of Chinese companies use Microsoft products and only 1% pay for it".

https://www.foxbusiness.com/business-leaders/china-is-ripping-off-microsoft-to-the-tune-of-10b

That's THEFT. That's STEALING.

And it's time to use that statement, because it gives cover.

Make a poster with that quote. Make a bed sheet with that quote.

We need a movement on social media to organize multiple rallies with those signs.

Don't focus on logic, focus on emotion. Call the Chinese out for who they are . . THIEVES. Fentanyl Murderers. Baby Killers. Environmental Assassins.

Time to turn Alinsky on them too, not just the Dems.

Every product needs to be well marked with the flag of the country it is imported from.

They'd lie about that too. It's the commie version of Taqiya.

A previous thread had a story about how the Government run schools in China are teaching kids that Christianity is evil and they need to turn in their parents if they are Christians.

California is now teaching capitalism is evil as part of their state curriculum.

And the baby-mommas keep sending the kids to the schools and keep voting Democrat.

You can buy a non Chinese made appliance. But I doubt if the internal components are all ‘Not Chinese. ‘. Especially electronics

For decades the Uniparty has let China get away with murder...Now we finally have someone standing up to them..

Yet I see nothing on social media or other places about a national movement to help Trump win the war against China

Is there a website or twitter page I’m missing? I type in “buy made in USA” in twitter and get very few results

Imagine if we ever get into a shooting war with them and alot of our military computer parts and rare earths metals are blocked?
Also if we ate more meat as a country that would help out farmers( more cows..more feed grain demand etc)

We need a buy in the USA and/or avoid Buy in China movement...and it needs to go viral

FlagS plural. Each item may contain components from multiple countries and assembled here. Hard to know.

I always make an effort to Buy American as my first choice. Would be great to hear Trump repeat his Buy American, Hire American meme more often. It needs repeating.

I don’t care about Micro$oft and would rather see a post in favor of buying real American products.

I go out of my way to avoid buying Chinese stuff!

Been boycotting China for years!

To little effect, apparently.

So a company located in South Korea makes widgets that need chips. They buy the chips cheaply from China. The product is built and completed in South Korea and it is exported from Korea but with Chinese parts.

So slap any gook flag you want on the product. I just want Americans to know where the products they buy were shipped from. That shouldn’t scare you Free Traitors™ too much should it?

Try buying any electronics not from the pacific rim.

The electric (electronically controlled) radiator fan for my 99 Dodge was imported from an Asian country.

Slap a 50% import tariff on ALL imported electronics and see how fast electrics are made in the USA ONCE again.

I buy nothing but the good old brand names for aftermarket auto parts and one by one, all say made in china on the package now.

Look around your house. There’s hardly anything that can be replaced that won’t be made in china.

If you do find something made in the USA, Japan, or a European country, it will cost 2-4 times as much.

We can’t compete with third world labor rates and never should have started trading with them.

This is easy.

Want to hurt China? Then stop buying their crap at Wal Mart, Costco, and Amazon.

Make a conscious choice not to buy from China.

You can do it.

“American manufacturers allowed this to happen.
They moved manufacturing of American brands to China to increase profits.”

Thank you.

Almost nobody acknowledges this.
