If this is true, why aren't we boycotting China?



It's almost impossible. Even iPhones are made in China.


Not sure why you say “even iPhones” as this kind of high-end tech is likely among the most difficult to manufacture outside of China. But even iPhones are starting to get manufactured in India, and you also have other smartphones being manufactured in Vietnam (I believe this include the new Pixel).

Trump’s China tariffs have already forced many companies to move to Vietnam/India/Mexico/etc. The few remaining are likely hoping Biden will win since he said he would end Trump’s China tariffs.


> Not sure why you say “even iPhones”

Because Apple is a trillion-dollar company.


Because that would hurt the davos crowd


Just like nobody is boycotting the US/EU from its illegal wars and border concentration camps. Gotta make that cash to feed and keep people happy. The sad stone cold truth.
