A PERSONAL BOYCOTT OF CHINA AND THE WAY THEY TREAT OUR NAVY SHIPS
Enough is enough. Not to mention they just about own us now.
When is our country going to stand up and protest?
Besides what China has sent to us that could harm us, food, toys, etc. They have perfected the art of duplicating anything the US can manufacture and then selling it at greatly reduced prices. Not to mention the faults these products contain. They are manufacturing drug copies at an alarming rate and advertising on the net and selling overseas to greedy people. It is getting dangerous out there.People will die.
My Japanese friend told me several years ago, to be aware of any food coming from China. If you get produce, wash extensively, as they use alot of contaminated water. She knew what she was talking about way before it became public here.
Now my gripe today is the way they are treating our Navy Ships.
In recent weeks we have had 3 incidents of China denying us access to their ports.
The reason my knickers are in a bind is, these requests are made several weeks and sometimes months ahead of time, only for China to deny us access when the ships arrive.
Recently we had the USS Kitty Hawk and five of her ships wanting to make a port call for Thanksgiving. You guessed it, when they got there China had changed her mind and denied access. Shortly after they were turned away, China reversed the decision, but by then, they were too far out to sea. Too little too late on that one. During that same time, they told the Navy that the Reuben James, a frigate, was being denied access also.
No reason was given. Until now the Navy has considered Hong Kong a favorite port. They stop there about 50 times a year since 1997 when Hong Kong reverted back to China control. China makes alot of money from us.
The Reuben James will continue her trip, going to another port.
Our ships are out there not only training, but they are doing many public assistance calls to different countries. They are doing good.
Now the kicker is....China recently refused to let two Navy mine sweepers access also for fuel and escaping a storm. This is the most alarming one, this totally violates an International Rule of the sea to provide safe harbor for vessels in trouble.
You think this isn't serious, then think again, our government is bowing to them. "Oh, we can work this out." I doubt it. China is getting way too big for her Chinese made britches. I think she needs to be knocked down a peg or two.
China then mumbled something to the effect that Congress honoring the Dalai Lama and the US arms sales to Taiwan triggered the problems, which have cast a shadow over military relations between the two countries. WHAT???
Now they want to tell us what we can or cannot do and with whom.
We need to stand up now and demand our government to take our country back.
So ending this, I am going to try my hardest to not buy one thing Chinese. We do have other alternatives, even electronics, to satisfy our thirst. If not, too bad, make do.

I'm with you girl, but I fear it's a lost cause.
When the Navy surveillance plane was struck by the Chinese Fighter some years back and the crew and plane held hostage afterward, I decided to start a personal boycott. We happened to be in Destin at the time, and trying to gather beach toys/tools without buying Chinese made stuff was impossible.
I'm guessing 15-cent an hour labor makes it impossible for anyone to compete in that market.
So you have to take your boycott upscale...
Computers and other electronic goods, etc., (Lenovo).
If you don't mind paying a little extra, your computer will be assembled by another Asian...
Korean, Taiwanese, Pakistani, or Indian. Funny, more and more the Japanese appear to be priced out of this market.
But if you find a successful way to make a boycott hurt China economically, I'll gladly join you!
