Boycott "Made in China"
Reasons why we should boycott all "Made in China" products:
1) The government uses forced labor. Many prisoners, including those imprisoned for political or religious beliefs, are forced to work in mines and factories.
2) Many Chinese companies are directly linked to the Chinese military. China is probably our biggest threat, even more so than Iran or North Korea.
3) All labor unions are controlled by the Communist Party of China (effectively the government). Workers cannot strike or negotiate if working conditions are bad or wages artificially low.

I didn't realize it was this bad over there. Slave labor? I'm not going to be anal about it, but from now on, I'm opting for the US/European/Japanese made items when I can.
