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.

Consumer boycotts have an effect on reputation but have a negligible impact on sales
The Chinese government have shown that they don't care about their reputation

Chinese exports down 17% compared to this time last year.

I reckon more people will stop buying crap from China and Chinese exports will fall much further.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Boycotting, means we dont support ourselves?

I doubt the Chinese would let it get so bad that they import fewer raw materials. They just need to learn that they cannot control consumer sentiment here the same way they control the internet in China or twist the arm of smaller governments. After all, they copy everything else from foreigners.

I'm in the market fro a new car...... I probably can't afford to buy what I want .....

but one thing for sure ..... out of all the new imported vehicles available ......

I will never buy a Chinese car.

Electrical goods almost have everyone snookered .... most are made in China on license from Brand name manufacturers.

The same with a lot of clothing ... it's either Chinese, Indian, Bangaldeshi or Indonesian made.

Where possible I will not buy chinese product.

They can get stuffed.
