Yay or nay: would you boycott Chinese products?
If the Olympic torch has shed light on anything, it's the case against the Chinese regime that's now shining brightest in many people's minds.
Laying aside for one moment the country's actions in Tibet, there have been concerns raised over its appalling human rights record (including 'starvationa wages' and poor working conditions), jailing of anyone who dares speak out against the regime and animal rights violations to name but a few objections.
This has led many consumers to re-evaluate their attitudes towards buying Chinese products, which makes up a hefty chunk of everything we buy, from electical goods to clothes and toys. So where do you stand on the Chinese product issue: are you avoiding buying these plentiful, cheap items, or do you not believe that taking such action is worthwhile or even possible?
I haven't yet but i'd certainly like to try
