Right? The whole reason China is a manufacturing powerhouse is because we have made it clear we don't mind supporting a brutal regime that pays workers poverty wages and makes labour organization illegal as long as we can get a reclining patio chair at Canadian Tire for $60 instead of $300.
If you want to boycott China, get ready to pay a lot more for... everything.

Shocked to see so many "frogs at the bottom of a well" who don't know what the rest sky looks like other than the tiny piece they can see.
I am trying hard not to purchase products made in China until Canadians are released from jail and the industrial spying stops!
I have sinned!
As much as I am against the Chinese and us buying their products I ordered one of these pistols
Does that really make me a bad person?

A noble effort but it is literally impossible to not buy things made in China. Without knowing you I would bet most of the clothes you're wearing and the chair you're sitting on came from there. 96% of the non-food items in WalMart come from China. China has been the go-to place for offshore manufacturing since the 1950s. They can make stuff and ship it here by the kiloton for a fraction of what it costs to make here. Because they use cheap materials and don't cut into their margins with wasteful things like a living wage or environmental regulations or OHS for workers (many of whom are unpaid convicts). They've got us.
Damn, man consider this for a moment: China was responsible for not containing COVID-19, and unleashing it on the world. And are they paying for that? No way. We're paying them! They are charging us hundreds of millions of dollars for PPE and other equipment so we can deal with the virus *they* let loose! Insanity.
Best thing you can do is shop locally instead of box stores and Amazon. Then at least some of the money is staying in your community.
