China is the strongest economy in Asia but its practices are not ethical.
Here are eleven reasons why the world should boycott China's goods and services.
1. Human Rights abuses - Inside China and in other nations such as Tibet, Mongolia, Uyghur, Vietnam, human rights abuse is rife - thousands of examples can be found all over the internet/videos/reports over gross violations of human rights - there are imprisoned dissidents* from China and Tibet languishing in Chinese lock ups with no chance to be freed.
2. Not a good Global Citizen - "If you don't do what we say, you shall be in trouble with us!" This is the diplomatic policy of China. China is not being a good Global citizen, not sending humanitarian aid to natural disasters routed countries and Chinese billionaires being averse of philanthropy. On one side China protests against military support of the U.S.A. for Taiwan's independence which is a democratic country and doesn't want to be a part of communist China; on the other side. China tried to support Muammar Gaddafi's terrorist regime in Lybia with weapons against a UN embargo! So, why should G8 countries and the others take China seriously? China is supporting Iran and the corrupt and criminal Government of Syria, and is promoting harsh punishments for dissidents.
3. Low wages - Chinese employers give very low wages that millions of workers live in dire poverty
4. No environmental rules - China is irresponsibly polluting the world, releasing noxious fumes and effluent from its industrial sector, endangering both wild life and human life.
5. Manipulates its currency - China make its goods cheaper at the expense of quality, causing joblessness worldwide
6. Piracy of products/ideas - China steals data from Government files, copying European and other designs. China also steals universities information i.e. new discoveries space/virus (illness)/metallic/natural matters.
7. Corrupt business practices - China indulges in corrupt business practices which result in dangerous products: i.e. additives such as lead in toys and dinnerware, melamine in food, etc. Corrupt business practices in nations such as Africa - promising money and help but then usurping the land of the AFRICAN nations to mine and use as farmland to feed their own mainland.
8. Harmful fishing practices - Don't buy seafood from China obtained from bottom trawling. China is guilty for overfishing and its fetish for shark fin leaves the endangered species die a slow, painful death and nearing the brink of extinction in every passing second. After a shark is caught, its fin is sliced off and it is then thrown back into the water. Sharks need to swim to stay alive and without their fins, they won't be able to swim and die after undergoing untold suffering.
9. Chinese traditional medicine and fur trade - China extracts bear bile in bear farms and the conditions in the farm is simply reproachable. China also promotes the use promotes of body parts from endangered animals, such as rhinoceros and tigers. China's fur farms is animal abuse of the highest order - the animals are skinned alive.
10. Wars - China provides weapons and succor to countries such as PAKISTAN, with weapon and is deploying armies around its international land and water borders. China is not peace loving, it takes whatever it can, where ever it can, whenever it can.
Last, but not least:
FREEDOM OF SPEECH, RELIGION AND CULTURE - China is increasingly sanctioning freedom of speech, religion and culture. People can no longer celebrate their religious festivals freely, express themselves in arts/poetry/music and the written word - media and books. China has become a jail within a jail - the only people who are living high and mighty lives are the Communist followers and leaders of the moment.
