"Your mistake was to think Walmart was somehow being singled out based on differences in using Chinese made goods compared to other stores. I don't know why you ever thought that."
WalMart was mentioned by name and the other retailers were not, that sounds like being singled out to me. Obviously HR2China feels very strongly about this issue ( take a look at his homepage), but I think it is an impossibility to boycott EVERYTHING from China.

Don't bother, he's just interested in flame wars, that's why he resurrected an arguement that had been dead for 2 days, put him on your "do not read" list.

I think they feel all retailers of Chinese products should be boycotted.
As far as Walmart being singled out, it does seem to be. But it is not singled out, as I wrote, "based on differences in using Chinese made goods compared to other stores".
I think Walmart is the largest chain and is of the most symbolic value.
It has nothing to do with Walmart importing from China whereas other stores don't.

An understandable emotion.

I agree.
