Turkey is boycotting Chinese goods because of what's going on in Xinjiang. Erm.. or at least they're trying to. Just how on earth will a country ever get by by completely boycotting everything Chinese at this point?

You can if you're willing to pay more, I thnk...

Well, if they could get some countries to join them, then perhaps we could get somewhere. China will eventually run out of money if they're boycotted...

But so would we.

Now they'll actually have quality products that don't poison their kids. Good call.

How exactly would they run out of money? They have an domestic market which exceeds the US, they have the world's largest foreign currency reserves and they are the single largest holder of American debt. They have the world by the short and curlies so do tell how in the $%^& are they going to 'run out of money'? If you boycott them you hurt yourself at this point. The war is over. They have achieved Kruschev's dream... 'one day a soviet flag will fly over America and not a shot will be fired'. Money runs the world, and they have it all. Why do you think since the monetary (read greed) crisis everyone has stopped criticising China's human rights? Why did the US shut up about trade deficits and revaluing currency? China has the world by the balls and everyone finally realises it... oops, too late. Its done, over, kaput. Boycott China and you only hurt yourself now.

Korea tried doing some funnies with trade with China. The Chinese said, "we'll stop buying your cell phones." South Korea got to shut the f*ck up.
