Chinese Military,Political and Social Superthread

[Kirkhill]

Every. Single. Day.

With some success.

And in the various businesses I am involved with (risk and security management, drones, robotics, AI, additive manufacturing, and bio-sense) removing any hint of China in the supply chain is a key element of our resilience strategies, and given the national security aspect of all of them, it is just good business to do so

Fair.

The problem that I find as a consumer of conventional goods is that it requires a level of effort that was not necessary previously. I am a buyer, not a shopper. If I have a need my tendency is to fill my need as expeditoiusly as possible. That usually means grabbing the first thing that works for me.

Having said that Chinese cars are not on my shopping list.

Have you tried to buy anything that isn't made in China?

Thats my ‘million dollar idea’.

A fair trade version of Amazon/walmart/whatever which lists the countries of origin and makes sure the products sold are at a set standard (i.e. environmental protections used in manufacturing, no slave labour, reasonably paid workforce, etc.).

Unfortunately it shall not happen from me because if it was a success it would be copied and stolen by a entity much larger and more powerful than me.
