Wizbang yesterday posted this observance of the anniversary of Tiananmen Square.
Every dollar you spend on a MADE IN CHINA product helps to support this dictatorial regime. A regime moving to expand power and hegemony throughout Asia. A regime that regards us an an enemy. A regime that rules through fear and corruption on the one hand, and through increasing appeals to nationalism on the other. A regime that oppresses its minorities and destroys their cultures. A regime that in its haste to build a powerful nation inflicts tremendous damage on the environment. A regime that is a continuation of the rule of Mao Zedong, the number one mass murderer in human history. A regime making deals with murderous tyrants around the world in exchange for access to oil. Will your dollar be the one that buys the bullet used to execute a dissident next month? Will your dollar help buy and build the military that likely will one day fight ours?
Or, will you cease to buy MADE IN CHINA.

When talking about the non-importation movements of the Revolutionary period, I discuss the idea of what we now call a "boycott."
Oftentimes, I use the example of my friend, the Okie Gardener, who has been boycotting Chinese-made goods for years.
You can always tell who is boycotting Chinese-made goods, I say, because they are the naked ones.
