A boycott of Chinese-made products would have a devasting effect on that hate-filled regime. But such a boycott is almost unthinkable. It would require, at the very least, the ramping up of the boycott effort here in FR. That would be the bare minimum. And you're not going to see that here. Therefore, you're not going to see it anywhere. The Chinese scumbags will get a free pass on this.

Even better ... just exhume and autopsy Ron Brown's body. Do that and you will likely prove that he was murdered (a mass murder actually) and that the Clinton administration covered it up. Investigate the reason and you'll find it was to keep him from talking about the MILLIONS given to the DNC and Clinton in exchange for the Clinton administration allowing Red China access to a long list of formerly restricted technologies. A boycott is a waste of time. Instead, just put pressure on Ashcroft to do a simple exhumation and autopsy. Take all of a week and there is no spinning the results.

I'm not sure a boycott will be needed. As the US economy shrinks, and as consumers in the USA stop spending, Chinese factories will quickly feel that pinch and squeeze. AS the the shrinking US economy impacts other economies, so too will the Chinese economy contract, except that it will be multiplied many times over.

Isn't it true that as economies contract it is those economies that are on the lowest end of the scale (producing the most junk at lowest price) that feel the impact the most?
