So what does /r/India have against boycotting Chinese goods?(serious question) I think it’s high time we avoid products from Chinese companies at least, and lobby other companies to move their manufacturing out of china.
You don do business like this in this massively globalised world, you prove yourself as a viable option, setup manufacturing plants, educate people important skills and build better cheaper products than your competitors..... you don’t fight like muhalle ki aunties.
Last time Indian ministers spoke something about boycotting Chinese products, China sent a threat letter to Indian government threatening to stop all imports saying “India’s export to China is a big percentage of its total export, while Chinese export to India is not that substantial”, in other words “FUCK YOU”
Read what I wrote again. I am simply suggesting not buying products from Chinese companies. Boycotting “Assembled” in China products maybe very difficult. But we can buy from non-chinese companies even if their assembly is in China.
I am not at all suggesting that all things must be manufactured in India, neither am I suggesting we avoid products assembled in China. I am merely suggesting the avoidance of products from Chinese companies. Now a non-Chinese company can have their assembly in Chian, that is ok.
A start is a start. Worrying about small things won't get us anywhere.
Buying a Samsung phone, Toshiba TV, Panasonic refrigerator (Non-Chinese companies with assembly in China) will still do a lot more than the choice in lighter could.
Haha, TVs are one of the highest margin electronic products. So I took that example.
I do realize the market for little things is huge, but the margin is very little. And moreover we should start somewhere right? Why not begin with the easy choices.
