Banning Chinese products

[Sugar Ray]

China is the worlds biggest polluter of carbon emmissions, Has dubious human rights records and shocking working conditions. Is it about time we looked at our selves as a consumer nation and make a stand of just buying UK / European goods rather than cheaper but at what cost chinese goods

[Reverandfunk]

Ray I guarantee you that if you put a chinese product against a european product most people would go for the cheaper chinese one and not give two hoots. The same could be applied to other far eastern countries, sweatshops in India and Africa. The only way to stop people buying these cheap imports would to be to ban them and that won't happen because then China or whoever will go on about restrictions of trade etc etc, I think there has already been a case of this.

It is hard to avoid chinese goods. Almost every electrical appliance. gadget gizzmo or camera etc is made there. My microsoft wireless mouse and keyboard are made in China. Have a look around your house, you will be shocked, start with the kettle.

Correct me if I'm wrong but USA has the largest carbon footprint per person in the world, why don't we stop trading with them? After all they're better equiped to deal with climate change than the chinese but they're not willing to do anything about it. China is less developed than the states and has many more people.
