    Why do you hate Chinese products?.

    Are you using a computer a phone. The clothes you wear. The house you occupy. Likely all with Chinese parts.

    What’s your disgust at the people of china ?

      Well that’s a leading question if I’ve ever seen one. I have nothing against the people of China. I have major issues with the government, and with the fact that they have literal slaves, working themselves to death for the benefit of immensely wealthy people that have more money than they could spend in a thousand opulent lifetimes. I have issues with child labor, and a lack of policies to protect the workers. Yes I know I own Chinese stuff. You can’t escape it anymore, but where there are alternatives, I always take them.

        True. Very leading. That’s not necessarily china. That’s America. Musk was at one point the richest person in exist.

        I get your take on slaves. A disgusting practice that should be abolished, however until we as a planet stop buying products. That likely won’t stop. India also has a child slaves problem and American uses prison labour. Nowhere is really much better.

        Unfortunately there aren’t really alternatives. Our collective governments have sold out to third world countries. Buy used or second hand if you can and build what you can.

          We definitely do. 90% of the stuff in our house is from the thrift store. I have hand tools that are over 100 years old and still work great!

            Best way to do it. New stuff just breaks.

      Not OP, but their issue could be with the Chinese government, rather than Chinese people in general.

        Well I was hinting at that. Majority of people are just trying to live their lives. The problem is with politicians and greedy billionaires
