Clearly the imperial project to convert westerners into a seething anti-Chinese mob in order to garner public support for the coming war continues apace with very successful results. I mean, once you are no longer able to compete effectively, the only remaining option is to attempt to undermine or destroy your geopolitical rival.

Here in Canada anti-Chinese sentiment is increasingly nasty. In fact, I heard a news report last year that the greater Vancouver area was the #1 region in North America for violent attacks against innocent persons that appear to be Chinese to their attackers, whether they actually are or not. 

I personally do not care whether or not my goods originate from China.

The western world kisses the ring of the leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia where public beheadings of citizens and non-citizens alike for such "crimes" as infidelity or apostasy are a matter of routine, and holds holy and above reproach the nation of Israel which maintains brutal apartheid policies and, once caught in the act, reluctantly admitted to running a covert racist undertaking involving sterilizing Ethiopian Jewish women immigrants without either their knowledge or consent. No, that is not "fake news".

Wow, @vladtheimpala, any thoughts you would like to share on Russia as well?

Your show posts is based on a false premise,

"seething anti-Chinese mob"

I see nothing of the sort. I do see anti-China, which is much different. I don't see anyone hating on Taiwanese people and they are Chinese. Same with more in Singapore.

Vancouver, isn't that where the Canadian Government just recently said there was a concerted effort by foreign powers (China) to attack a federal election candidate, likely to the point of losing when they would have won?  Unfortunately, actions like that, as well as initial Covid coverup, and the massive racial shift in the makeup up the area based on the inflow of money (and people) from Hong Kong and China can lead to people lashing out at others via association as opposed to who they should be mad at, their government. Being forced out of an area after generations have built it up due to government allowed policies can make people angry. I am sure your government has taken total responsibility? (I am assuming you are Canadian). Feel quick to call me racist, but that issue is no different from uncontrolled gentrification which has hurt minority communities hard. Is that okay?  No more okay what "Americans" or "Canadians" buying up all best properties in a 3rd world country.

On the aspect of competition, is it possible for someone to live in Canada (or America) at the wage paid to the average worker in China? What about the overhead for employment standards, safety, environment? What about even overhead for what we consider reasonable infrastructure?   Level the playing field, and things become more competitive. Look at Japan now.

If a product I desire is 50 per cent higher in price than a competing Chinese made product I'll fork out the extra dollars for it.

A very close friend of ours is one of the few who were allowed to observe the reality that exists in the industrial sweat shops of China.She was appalled by what she saw...

Here is my experience regarding electronics made in China-the" 1/3 rd rule"

One third function well for many years without defects.

One third have a minor irritating defect but otherwise work OK

One third are either DOA or crash after the warranty expires which is usually between 1-3 years...

Pathetic....

I hate to POP YOUR BALLOON but the main reason there is an  anti-China sentiment is quality control or the lack of it .

At the same time being pro the country one is from doesn't directly mean that one is anti other countries .

My Chinese Quads have better QC than my UK Quads (which I sold). Parts are beginning to fail after 15 years, especially panels exposed to sunlight, but even that, apparently, has been fixed.

Political, ethical, economic matters are another discussion, but let's be clear about what we are really talking about.
