Chi-Fi in the Time of Self-Righteous Indignation.

When given the choice I would never buy Chinese products. 

A good place to start would be asking our politicians to change labeling laws.  As an example, here in Canada, an item can be labeled "Product of Canada" so long as 51% of the manufacturing cost is spent in Canada.  So tomatoes grown in the US or Mexico, but processed and canned in Canada, can end of on the store shelf proudly labeled Product of Canada!!!  100% legal and 100% deceptive.  I can only assume the same nonsense goes on everywhere and in all kinds of products we buy.  Is it too much to ask to be told the truth about where things come from? 

Blame and recrimination, culture wars, politicizing everything=USA

Executing plan for global economic hegemony=China

America living in era of culture of complaint, getting nothing done is intention of many gvt. officials, millions of people have bought into this terrible idea.

China has big ideas, and the people follow, country of single minded intention, tell me who's going to win?

I wouldn't worry about it specifically.  Global trade is the only thing that helps keep this world together.   Better to get with the times and ride the wave rather than build more barriers.  If you don't like China or any other country for whatever reason you are free to not partake.   It's a personal decision like pretty much everything else in life.

@yuviarora I’m not saying that we should ignore irrefutable evidence of impending disaster…like tornados in Kentucky in December and January for instance. Your friend saw facts…Kristallnacht should have also been a bit of a canary in the coalmine as well. The west built a great many factories in China, consulted on a great many more.

In one system I have a streamer-server from Portugal feeding a Swiss dac (very neutral LOL) feeding a Japanese preamp feeding a Japenese amplifier feeding British designed/Austrian built speakers. Cables are from Serbia, Germany and Japan. Music is streamed from France I guess or from music I have burned. The moral to the story is the USA has been at war with some of the aforementioned countries or defended some others, in the past for various rational or irrational reasons. China has never invaded us, they just reject many of the things the west holds dear. I find the hypocrisy thick with irony that it was ok for the west to do business with the far east when it fit the narrative 40 or 50 plus years ago but not today? There was a great deal of western resentment toward the east when their cars were kicking Detroit where it hurt. They then built factories in the west and it became obvious they could in many cases build a generally better and more desirable car on our soil than we could. The same could be said for European based car companies. Less blowback there though because the Euros “look” western. Geez.

So, there is this apparent dilemma today that China manufactures some high quality goods and the west purchases it. Do you have more or less outrage if it is branded as that of a western company? Your iphone, your computer, your television? Its terrible what is happening to the Uyghers…its terrible what happened in Tulsa or Tuskeegee. Human beings do bad shyt to one another.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, China is building some great products. The west sells gear to them, the west buys gear from them. The world turns, the universe continues evolving…
