As they say, "Better late
As they say, "Better late than never." Just because we were not able to act properly and promptly years ago based on the knowledge was, is and always will be a major human rights violator, doesn't mean that we can finally act correctly today to boycott China and prevent giving tacit acceptance and approval to this brutal regime of human rights violators and businessmen without ethics. China is exporting an evil model of development throughout the whole world and undermining US and EU efforts to spread democracy, human rights and market based economies with ethics. China is grabbing large amounts of territories in Tibet, Mongolia, Xinjiang, and the Spratly's. It is bribing corrupt Third World leaders and supporting the worst of them so that they cannot be held accountable. China cares more about money than the lives of fellow human beings. This is seen in its behavior in Darfur and most recently in the shipment of arms to Zimbabwe during a turbulent political period where democracy is at stake. Most of all, China represents the biggest threat to freedom and the standard of living in democratic nations. Their dumping of cheap goods based on state subsidies, use of cheap labor, and use of poisonous and cheap substandard materials is meant to drive manufacturers who pay decent wages and make quality products out of business. The slogan "China cheats, Pennsylvania loses" says it all. We must prepare to challenge China diplomatically, politically, economically and even militarily if only to ensure that the 21st century is a century of freedom and development and not a century of domination by the ruthless Han.
