Boycott Chinese Products, and they’ll Stop Korea’s Nuclear Weapons

With Korea threatening to restart its nuclear weapons program, multiple ways of adding pressure to the country are needed—here is one the average consumer can perform easily while shopping at most stores. Since China is very much the big brother to Korea, if we hurt them hard enough financially, they will quickly force Korea to do their bidding.

We can do this because a large part of China’s economy depends on exporting more than $100 Billion worth of its products to the U.S. market every year. Dent that flow enough to say we’re serious, and they’ll take notice quickly.

The most effective means you have to communicate this message is to tell the management of the stores you frequent that you won’t shop there until they start carrying a lot more American-made products.

Printing Instructions

To spread the message about the boycott, download one or both of these Acrobat (PDF) notices:

• 10 cards per page—cut out or print on pre-perforated business-card sheets.
• Whole-page size flyer—a slightly longer message in large type to really get their
  attention.

Download Acrobat Reader in order to view and print these flyers if you don’t have it already.

The next time you go shopping, take one of these flyers with you. If you find something you would like to buy and discover that it is made in China, try to find a replacement that was made in a country that trades on a fair basis with us, but keep the “Made in China” product in your shopping cart. When you get to the checkout stand, pay for your other products, but leave the “Made in China” products there, with this note, and explain that it is a message for the store owner.

Do you realize that U.S. workers and factories can make anything that is made in China? The U.S. economy
would explode if we started making most of the products that China is allowed to sell here! Our trading partners in South America would soon be making the less expensive products for even less money.
