Want to help the Tibetans
Want to make a difference to someone else life
If you believe that China should improve it’s human rights policy or you just want China to recognise Tibet’s right to maintain it’s cultural identity why not put some very effective pressure on the Chinese government.
Believe it or not you have way more power than you own government does when it comes to influencing foreign government policy. If you government tries to influence another government the issue turns in to a political bun fight and they typically achieve nothing.
You, on the other hand have the power to pressure the foreign government from within they own country. Stop buying goods made in that country and tell the retailer, distributor or even the manufacturer themselves that you are not going to purchase any goods made in their country because you disagree with their governments policy on . . . . . (insert appropriate issue here).
When manufacturer’s start to lose business and the know it is due to their own government policies they will very quickly start applying pressure to the government to change their policies.
By simply not buying goods made in China, even for 1 month, Chinese manufacturers lose a significant amount of revenue. Even if you delay purchasing goods made in China for a few weeks or even a couple of months it will have a big impact on their annual sales figures.
The key to making this work is giving some thought to where the goods you buy are made and telling the retailer, distributor or manufacturer that you didn’t buy their goods because of the Chinese government’s policies.
If you can avoid buying Chinese goods you actually achieve 2 significant things, 10 you give a clear message to the Chinese government that their polices are effecting their financial growth and 2) if you buy goods that are manufactured locally you are supporting you own countries economy and manufacturer’s.
A small amount of effort on your part can have a huge impact on other peoples lives, everyone has the right to live their life free from persecution.
So if you want to make a difference; stop, reduce, or delay, purchasing Chinese made goods and encourage you friends and families to do the same. You’ll be amazed how effective this can be.
