-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
after making the first post ( https://imgur.com/gallery/hPvwQUV ) I have decided to make a second one because every day it gets worse and not only for the citizens of hong kong. There's a cold war game going on right now and us, normal world citizens are in the middle as always. What can we do? For part, the people will always have some kind of power since in democracy AND economy, you need the people or things won't get moving, right? By boycotting, we are not just letting know the CCP that we won't accept their bullshit anymore but we are also telling our goverments and the companies that benefit from Chinese dumping (when china sells things ridiculously cheap to achive monopoly...and then they rise the prices) that we won't buy from them unless they get their shit right.

This post is a continuation from the old one which already cites enough to stop supporting china in my opinion but if that isn't enough, please watch the following youtube video:

inhttps://youtu.be/17oCQakzIl8 - about what exactly is happening with the uighurs, like cited in the old post and https://youtu.be/OubM8bD9kck about our friend XI "winnie the POO" Jinping who we all hate right now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
having watched these videos, let's cite even more reasons why you should boycott china:

-china's claims over the whole fucking southern china sea (which, btw, go as far as almost touching other countries lands) and of course ground territory disputes with countries that don't even touch borders with china (including north korea!) - at some point it get's even worrisome in case you forgot that some soldiers died in a clash between india and china (BOTH ARE NUCLEAR NATIONS) and there's a race for building military buildings inside the disputed territory disregarding what the people inside kashmere even think about this.

-kidnapping (even outside of china and hong kong) of people they want to silence. For more information: https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/03/29/the-disappeared-china-renditions-kidnapping/
note: this move was already being applied by north korea. search kidnapping in japan by north korea in the internet.

-the lasted law that as we all know, can target anyone who speaks for democracy in hong kong (and that includes me that i'm not remotely related to china in anyway). They asked for an american citizen to be brought to china...they can ask anyone at this point. It now depends on your country of residence if they don't recognize this law or not (remember how germany during wwII asked (forced) some european countries to deport to them what they considered "human trash"? welp, there's already a concentration camp for the uighurs so...)

-threating other countries like GB and australia with "dare consequences" because of their support for democracy in hong kong.

-continuing racism against foreigners inside china, specially those from Africa to a point that a McDonald's in Guangzhou had to issue and apology for banning black people from one of it's stores. said story is now closed. This because of a false belief that the coronavirus was being spread by african people.

note: we all know that the CPP fed the chinese people false stories of how covid came to life and it's not their fault.

-reported hacking by china to US companies working on the covid vaccine (such as Moderna)

-NBA China's training camp's own staff complains of "abuse" against students:

-as many as 250 fishing vessels, supported by armed forces (don't know if they are just people with guns not related to the CCP) go as far as ecuador (galapagos island to be precise. A paradise for nature) to fish everything it can:

this isn't the first time they come to latinamerica to fish what they shouldn't. They've been fishing sharks in brazil and in 2016 they entered Argentina's waters and threaten to sink the coast guards boat but they instead sank the one with weapons. China of course got upset and didn't recognized the fact that they weren't in international waters: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-35815444

*they do this because of lack of fish in the asian ocean?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
these are less serious reasons why to boycott china compared to the one's in the last post (john oliver outdid my current list in many ways, specially the part about products made by uighur forced labor factories) but nevertheless these are enough reasons for boycotting china.

NOW, HOW TO FURTHER BOYCOTT CHINA?

some people asked me how to avoid buying from china in amazon if they lie about the origin of the product you are buying...It may fail for some products but here are my suggestions:

-don't buy from never heard companies: sometimes when you search for simple products like a cactus themed pouch and you find yourself the same very pouch but with different logo or name on it-that's definitely chinese. Also, check if the images: if they look like horrible photoshops, it's probably chinese. If the product description below is detailed and has guarantees (example: https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B07HH9JHZX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 - note the #nobullshit tag with the german like) then you can rest assured you aren't buying crap

-google the name of the company before buying...check if it's chinese.

-don't believe that if it's suggested from amazon, then it's not chinese or it's a big brand. I was looking for an mp3 player (yes, I am old and I need space in my phone) and all I've found it's plastic crap from china even though they are sold as high lined products and cost like 30 euro in comparison to an 450 euro ipod touch. I decided to stay with Sony and spend for a 170 euro player even if it's old and it costs but I know that most of Sony's components are japan assembled (this is why you know that PS5 won't come cheap, eh?)

-it might happen to you that you buy from something that it's shipped from italy but it's chinese, like a guy from my old post wrote...CHECK THE NAME OF THE SELLER and the address...this might help to see it it's chinese.

-ALWAYS CHOOSE PRIME, you don't have many guarantees with amazon marketplace...unless you trust 100% the buyer (i've bought american cereals from england before and a nanoha figurine from japan).

-product doesn't have the brand on the title of the product...it's chinese.

THESE SUGGESTIONS WORK ALSO FOR EBAY AND ETSY though it's harder with them and please, please please STOP BUYING FROM WISH AND ALIBABA. STOP FUNDING THEM. Remember: all companies that are located in mainland china have to follow and respect the CPP rules and if they want to collect your data by order of the party, they will do so. Saying this, I say; it's a good thing TikTok may be banned from america (and nothing of value was lost - sorry but I preffered vines, at least some where funny. You can regain your "famous on the internet" status with other apps).

I would also like to point the thing that everybody has been saying since last year...almost all electronics and cars have made in china parts so it's imposible to avoid china BUT if you don't buy directly from Chinese companies, you will still make an impact in their economy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I made this little guide so you know what you are buying and whether consider an alternative (sony, sandisk and asus for electronics, there are many other games that are not from riot and tiktok is cancer but anyways...) it's only a little of what I can do to guide you for a better consumer knowledge and experience...like a saying in latinamerica says: what's cheap comes expensive later (lo barato sale caro).

cat tax. I gotta go. I just hope this helps at least a little. Remember to read the old post here: https://imgur.com/gallery/hPvwQUV which in my opinion as I said before already cites enough reasons to stop giving china money and other more effective ways on boycotting china.

disclamer: this ins't only about america (and we all know trump is a clown, no need reminders) but this is about the whole world. Please leave behind any conspiracy or sided politics left or right 'couse it doesn't matter anymore. This is about human lives inside china and outside, about our lives and our future.

EDIT: imgur wont let me update the logo image I posted but dirt devil got bought by a hong kong company so technically it's still safe. Instead, I forgot to put up there Volvo and Motorola (which was bought by lenovo).

thank you for supporting the cause! (and let's all get along...but don't play that "why can't we be friends" song just now).
