I can’t express how much I’d rather give my money to China over any American shit. Like:
Canada/Local > most of the world > China > […]x100 > USA/Israel
Comment on Who does Temu think I am?

Don’t use TEMU. Basically, if it helps China, don’t use it.

It’s your funeral. [and everyone you love.]
I notice you tacked Israel onto USA there, let’s not ignore China’s role in vetoing the UN Ceasefire resolution with release of hostages in the terms, arming the Hamas attack on the music festival through their support of the IRGC who rule Iran, and supporting the Trump Admin’s reelection who ended all food aid into Gaza and shifted the genocide into high gear.

Not Amazon either, denounce Walmart too, US bad.
Now, how about IKEA? Sweden probably bad. Aldi? Germany definitely bad!
Also don’t you dare use your car, it helps oil corporations!!!
I’m not against not using TEMU as a concept, but your point sounds as stupid as the ones above.
PD: although, don’t use Amazon, Jeff Bezos definitely globally bad.

Wrong. EU good.

IKEA is actually bad. They illegally fell trees in European forests.

They also hide tax money by operating as a “charity” IIRC

How do they get away as a non-profit?

Everything wrong with the USA is worse with China. You can even say that the worst part of the USA currently is Trump and he was aided in reelection by Beijing operated psyop TikTok. Fuck China, Fuck Authoritarianism.

Yeah, why hate and boycott an entire country? There are hard working folks there that need to feed their families. I used Temu a few times and never thought about the country the store is from. I just wanted to see the product. So far, clothes off Temu aren’t that bad.

The people in that country have a responsibility to do something to stop the authoritarian assholes in charge. Until that point, all harm inflicted upon them as a result of their notoriety is deserved and their own fault.
HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 1 day ago
How do you suppose they do that? You think it is that easy to lead a revolt!?

In your opinion, what country's products are okay to buy, then?

Okay

Had me in the first half. As for the second, you don’t have a real reason besides China bad? Not even a “stop polluting by buying mass produced cheap single use shit”?
betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Why are you saying that like it’s not a good reason?
Tm12@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
Meant more as it’s a real and easy (easiest imo) reason. “Not even a” implying they could not even muster up the brain cells to put up a real reason.

TBF China wants to kill us all and take over all the land, and they’ve been pretty successful in their recent attempts.
EyIchFragDochNur@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Why would China want to kill y’all? Someone has to farm the land for the new lords

I don’t like china (both government and population), but this take is just shit. Sorry mate

lmfao
This some kind of reverse psychology tankie or something? I’m not like you, I feel empathy for the Chinese citizens living in that dystopian hellhole.
