    I totally support local manufacturing. We are too dependent on China to make stuff.

    I love when China innovates (DJI) or drive prices down with creativity (Xiaomi). But much of China's competitiveness comes from poor treatment of people.

    China's secluded internet and constant surveilancy makes harder for people to speak up and express themselves differently that how "society" dictates.

    Wonder if this will be used in electronics supply chains

    This is a wonderful idea! To purchase products made in China is, let's be real, indirectly supporting genocide and human rights abuses. Not buying from China, or anything made in China, is going to be extremely difficult but it's a small step.

    Since you can search for products made in specific countries, wouldn't this have less of a racist appeal if it was called "Made Here" instead of "Not Made There"?

    For example, I live in Canada and like to buy things made here. This site would be useful for that, regardless of my feelings about Chinese (or any other country's) products, government, etc.

    > This organization is ... not against Chinese people in China or abroad.

    It's funny that many anti-China people/organization likes to claim they are only against Chinese government, not the Chinese people.

    Everything they advocate is directly hurting Chinese people. Will stop buying Chinese product benefit Chinese people? Will stop buying Xinjiang cotton benefit Xinjiang people? Will subvert CCP and inject an US controlled government benefit Chinese people?

    No! No! No! These actions can only benefit those hypocrites who imagine they are Messiah. They don't care Chinese people dead or alive yet they say they are not against them.
