Quote:

Fisher & Paykel had grown into a global company operating in 50 countries and manufacturing in Thailand, China, Italy and Mexico. [7] The company had a manufacturing base in Australia for almost 20 years and nearly 70 years in New Zealand, but stated it can no longer compete with low cost labour countries and had to close them.

In 2012, Haier, a major Chinese appliance manufacturer, purchased over 90% of Fisher & Paykel Appliance shares

I suggest we boycott all Chinese brands in protest against the Chinese government shutting down beef imports from some of our meatworks in an attempt to prevent an inquiry into the coronavirus, and generally being giant douches.

I don't generally buy into the whole "buy Australian" thing, but I think this is one area where people could make a difference. There are plenty of non-Chinese brands to choose from.

Sure, I hear you.

And China, if they're smart, will do the same thing, yeah?

They'll boycott Australian products.

You're happy with that?

China has already started banning our products. I am not suggesting that Australia do the same.

The Chinese are now refusing to even take our trade ministers calls

Quote:

High-ranking calls to China have gone unanswered amid an escalating trade dispute with Australia that's been fuelled by calls to investigate the origins of the deadly coronavirus pandemic.

Trade Minister Simon Birmingham has been seeking to speak with his counterpart since China threatened to impose an 80 per cent import tariff on Australian barley.

China will make its final decision on the tariff on Tuesday. If it follows through with the threat, Australian exporters fears it will cripple a once lucrative market.

"We've made a request for me to be able to have discussions with my Chinese counterpart," Senator Birmingham told Insiders.

"That request has not been met with a call being accommodated at this stage."

Endless threats from the CCP... The slightest issue and it's on!

From the Dalai Lama visiting Australia in 2007, 2009 and an Australian delegation meeting him in India in 2013... To a reasonable request to investigate how the virus originated and spread...

Everything angers the CCP... being the insecure, paranoid and psychopathic entity that it is.

Also if China decide to boycott buying our Iron Ore we will be in a world of hurt

Consumer boycotts can be very effective, and have been in the past. They have changed corporate culture in many companies, to the extent that some companies care just as much about their 'social licences to operate' as they do about complying with the law. The Chinese could learn this lesson very easily. Just last year Brunei announced that it would not impose the death penalty for those convicted of having anal sex, following boycott calls. It did not even require an actual boycott, just the threat of one.

There are plenty of other cheap products on the market.
