Boycott of Chinese products and economic relations - when ?

[DrBeer]

Yesterday I listened to the speech of the representative of China.

The countries of the Arab world, after such statements, are obliged to begin a boycott of Chinese products, Chinese politicians and China in general, as they did in relation to products from Israel. The only option for influence is economic global measures as a response to the decades-long terror of the Muslim population of China.

I am sure that if calls for a boycott of Israeli products are not a product of propaganda, but a real concern for their fellow believers, a boycott of China will take place, and what is important - a strong economic impact!

Actually a few questions:
1. In your opinion, when can we expect an economic boycott of China by the Arab world?
2. Why has this topic been ignored for many decades?
3. What could be the result of the boycott and what impact could it have on the Chinese economy if the Muslim world takes the path of economic pressure on China?
4. Could this lead to disruption of Arab-Chinese relations in the global economy?

[DrBeer]

I don't expect to hear any answers here

We all understand perfectly well that calls for "defense of Muslims", "boycott Israel" are just a cheap propaganda ploy. And these propagandists don't really care about real suffering Muslims - like what is really happening to millions of Muslims, for many decades in China. The propaganda is only interested in Muslims who suffer at the hands of "the one who is usually blamed for all the troubles" in order to continue to receive funding, power, the ability to commit crimes with impunity, or rather to cover up the suffering of some group of people....


But I will leave the topic open for a couple more days, let's see if anyone, from the supporters of the "boycott of Israel", will have the courage and honor to talk about the "boycott of China" .....

Chinese products could become cheaper and other nations will buy and sell them in rebranded forms at higher prices to the Arabs. This actually depends on whether a boycott is justified otherwise China wouldn't be affected that much.

    Here in our country, there are many Chinese products used by my fellow countrymen. And most of our citizens here, when it comes to Chinese products, it's only low class. And something I also believe in. Most of the Chinese products are really low quality.

    If that's the case, I don't want Chinese brands as much as possible, although we still have other items here that we cannot avoid using Chinese brands. The only thing I don't like about Chinese brands are mobile phone devices; I really don't like those other products that are used or mixed with food. Just saying that someone is experienced.

Of course, Chinese manufacturers, in case of a total boycott of the Islamic world, will be forced to reduce prices and rebrand or conceal the origin of their goods. And, of course, this will be profited by the layers that will pass off forbidden goods as authorized ones.
But that's not the point here. The main question was why, with regard to Israel, some hyperactive loudmouths call for a boycott and anathema, while against China they cowardly keep silent, although the scale of the tragedy of the Muslim population in China far exceeds the scale and duration of Israel's retaliatory, and very harsh, operation in response to a massive terrorist attack.
Duplicity and cowardice, and a complete lack of real concern for their brothers in faith - this is the reason.... While very easily could have hit the Chinese economy hard !

It's tough to predict when the Arab world might economically boycott China. This topic might have been off the radar due to complex international relations and economic ties. If a boycott happens, it could shake up China's economy, making them rethink policies. This could strain relations between Arab countries and China, impacting both economics and diplomacy. How things play out will depend on diplomatic efforts and the unfolding situation. Hoping the worst would not happen for the people

China is a global power politically, militarily and economically, and its economy will not be affected by banning its products and severing relations with it.
I have a question
Who is now building infrastructure in African countries?
Of course, the ones who build hospitals, roads, dams and all huge projects are Chinese companies, not other great countries.
China does not interfere in what does not concern it and does not interfere in the affairs of other countries
China has mens who are determined to develop its economy and make it one of the finest countries, no matter how great the harassment and the Cold War mentality that still exists until now, and in fact they do not care about anyone.
They have their own mentality their own opinion in relations and I respect them.

[armanda90]

The countries of the Arab world have quite good bilateral relations with the United States so they strongly recommend boycotting Chinese products, I think this is only in the economic interests of the United States to invite their allied countries to boycott all Chinese products. During the qualities of China product is not really bad and they give us offer with lower or cheapest values than usually other countries product. I think there are political interests or business competition between China and America that are creating a feud to boycott all Chinese products.

During China product have good qualities and offering us cheapest values I don't think problem for boycotting all China product, don't heard with any exclamation from United State and The countries of Arab for boycotting all China product, I think the same did by United State for all countries competitor because ever ask to the Union of Europe for boycotting Russia product before.

Misconception... China's economy is export-oriented. And it is not even resources or technology, but "consumer goods". Which can be produced by other countries as well. Therefore, China's economy is critically dependent on exports. The domestic market is oversaturated and suffers from overproduction, which means: lack of sales = stoppage of production = stoppage of related industries = unemployment = huge increase in the burden on the budget, which already has a lot of problems.

1. I do not think this is possible given China’s dominance of the global economy in various sectors. There are vital sectors that China monopolizes, making it difficult to boycott them or even enter into a confrontation with them.
2. This topic is being ignored for the same reasons I mentioned in answer to the first question. If it is possible to study the possibility of boycotting China for the reasons you mentioned, then many other countries should be boycotted for the same reasons as the United States.
3. This will certainly have a negative impact on the Chinese economy, but I believe that the impact will be more negative for those countries that will not easily find someone to compensate them for Chinese products in terms of price and quality.
4. It can be said that the position of the Arab countries in the global economy is imbalanced because the Chinese economy is superior to all of them combined. Of all the Arab countries that have economic relations (trade exchanges, investment...) there are only two or three countries with a strong economy. In any case, they cannot confront China.

[Fuso.hp]

China's economy is totally dependent on their exports. The countries that China exports the most products to are Middle Eastern countries and Arab countries. If for some reason Arab countries start boycotting Chinese products and stop import and export relations with China, China's economy will be in serious trouble. Many Chinese workers work in the Middle East countries and many multinational companies do business in these countries. If diplomatic relations deteriorate, Chinese workers will stop working and multinational companies that were working in these countries will also have to leave. Now it is to be seen how long the Arab countries will continue their boycott campaign.

[Juse14]

It is quite difficult to boycott Chinese products, even though in terms of product quality, the products produced by this bamboo curtain country are considered very low when compared to products produced in the west. However, when talking about product prices, China offers very cheap prices, so this becomes an attraction for a country or society to continue using products produced by China. And quite a few countries in the Middle East are very dependent on China for the global supply chain. And when a country in the Middle East starts a trade war with China, this will not only have an impact on the Chinese economy, but the domestic economy will also be affected. China has succeeded in exerting its influence on a number of countries in the Middle East, so perhaps an Arab country will think twice about boycotting Chinese products.

There could be smaller protest but I don't think there would be a large scale boycott or something about this.
Unlike the Israeli and the US who kidnaps and kills just because of being muslim, China is just calling the extremist sick.
There are studies that shown a decrease in domestic violence, crimes in general and number of child marriage and an increase in average income and prosperity of Ughyurs after the re-education and vocational trainings.
Muslims in China unlike the what western propaganda preaches has the freedom to go to the mosque and follow their religion.

Is this according to you "China is just calling extremists sick" !?!?

The Uyghur genocide (Uyg. ئۇيغۇر قىرغىنچىلىقى) is a series of human rights violations carried out by the Chinese government against Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. These actions have been characterized as forced assimilation of Xinjiang and ethnocide or cultural genocide.
Since 2014, the Chinese government has implemented a policy that has resulted in the summary imprisonment of more than one million Chinese Muslims (most of them Uyghurs) in so-called "re-education camps" without trial. This is the largest mass incarceration of ethnic and religious minorities since World War II.
Thousands of mosques have been destroyed or damaged, and hundreds of thousands of children have been forcibly separated from their parents and sent to boarding schools. Anti-Uyghur measures also include forced labor, suppression of traditional religious practices, ideological treatment, abuse, forced sterilization and contraception, and forced abortions.

According to Chinese government statistics, the birth rate in the predominantly Uighur regions of Hotan and Kashgar fell by more than 60 percent between 2015 and 2018. Over the same period, the birth rate in the country as a whole fell by 9.69%. Chinese authorities acknowledged that Xinjiang's birth rate fell by nearly a third in 2018, but denied reports of forced sterilization and genocide. In 2019, Xinjiang's birth rate fell another 24% with a nationwide decline of 4.2%.

News about a potential boycott or urging a boycott of Chinese products by the Muslim world has been a recurrent discussion for many years now and springs up at different times for different reasons.

I personally do not think a full boycott sponsored by the state leaders us possible. Trade goes both ways; if a nation is heavily dependent on demand from a certain community, then that community is also heavily dependent on their supply. The process of switching suppliers for products at the quantity and price that is currently available is not an easy one at all.

It seems this issue is going a bit too far, I understand what you mentioned and actually I feel the injustice of the government's repression of the people, but any national government exists support/opposition issues. And the boycott of China, I think will belong to the opposing factions who do not like China is expansion and development, but cannot deny the impact on the economy in general.

I don't hate them and don't want to boycott them, even though I live quite close to this country and have also spent time living like a native in China, I simply cannot please them all crowd. In recent years, I have seen quite a lot of conflicts with China, but as a strategy, the country I live in also has a policy of economic linkage with China as well as being quite open with them.

Looking at the Arab issue, I do not understand exactly whether it is all of it or just some groups of people protesting and directing information, as I have expressed the existence of both support/opposition.

[jrrsparkles]

I don't think it is even possible to avoid anything that originates from China for any country in the world because they are the manufacturers of everything and they prepared the infrastructure for decades to be that level. China is not having McDonald's or Star Bucks that everyone can afford to boycott and continue running their daily life with no effect but its not the same with Chinese products.

[BD Technical]

You can't boycott Chinese products, bro, because now it has become known in every country of the world, Chinese products are abundant.  Candidates in your product are all made by Chinese, a product bought by a Chinese person has spread meaning all over the world.  And besides, almost every line in the middle of the world or our Bangladesh vs. Bangladesh is percent product Chinese.  Moreover, Chinese production you can use anything. Currently everything from medical sector to education is controlled by Chinese products.  Now many big projects are real by the Chinese in Bangladesh.

I am assuming that while "west" relies on China as essential part of supply line, they have been at least considering diversifying their sources for a while now. When China has a power to hurt the global supply line, it has an upper hand in many ways. But while china is a cheap source, it's not irreplaceable as a source. While boycott would have devastating effects, and prices would surely rise for a moment and there would be panic of shortage of some supplies... Even then, it wouldn't last forever, and eventually that production of several key parts would be done locally or elsewhere, plus it could also create jobs and spark the economy when all that money wouldn't be flowing elsewhere.

I am all for the idea of global trade, as it's benefiting everyone, and can even keep the peace, when nations need each other, but it's very essential to keep these participating regions stable. And that's hard to do. When labeling factory for certain medicine boxes exist in a volatile and fragile region, and that factory happens to burn. It stops the whole supply line and causes a shortage in that medication. Imagine more of these happening to basic services everywhere. This is one of the reasons we like to help different regions to be stable. We are not helping them just because goodness of our hearts.

Moving production of all the parts for local production might secure the supply line, but that isn't cheap and requires ton of new expensive experts from different fields. So i am glad i am not making decisions on this, as global trade economics are complex as hell, but boycotting might be only way to force nations to care about human rights for example.

I don't think China has ever done anything nearly similar as what Israel is currently doing to any countries, but besides all that politic. I think it's easy to boycott Israel products or products that is supporting Israel because there isn't many products in that category compared to product that is related to Chinese. And the products that is related to Israel is a tertiary product that has many cheaper alternative with similar or even better quality. While with Chinese product, there are millions or even billions of product that is definitely a Chinese brand or related to Chinese, and they have an good price with fairly okay quality, it's hard to find the alternative especially for people in the 3rd world country with less money.
