Put Putins Allies Under Pressure

[Bravehearted]

China have declined to criticise the illegal Russian invasion of the Ukraine.
Stop going to your local Chinese restaurant or buying Chinese produced goods on the internet. I realise that’s difficult since they manufacture just about everything including your Lateral Flow Kits for Covid. If Putin gets away with this the flood gates for all the worlds tyrants will open.
Putin, Chi, Assad, Jong un, etc etc..

What impact would boycotting Chinese restaurants have upon the Chinese government and why penalize their owners?

[Buenchico]

Almost all 'Chinese' restaurants in the UK are run by families (or their descendants) who came to the UK from Hong Kong during the time that it was a British territory, with those people holding British National (Overseas) citizenship. So punishing British citizens for the actions (or inactions) of a country that they were never a part of seems a crazy idea to me!

It would be akin to boycotting Indian restaurants in response to something that India had done, despite the fact that 90% of 'Indian' restaurants in the UK are run by families whose roots are in Bangladesh and not in India!

[THECORBYLOON]

I knew about most "Indian" restaurants being Bangla but wasn't sure if most Chinese were either Cantonese or Hong Kong and couldn't find the answer on Google.

Looks like the OP wants to channel the mentality some had in the States when Trump started about that "Chinese Virus" BS that saw hate crimes on Asians rise hugely.

// Stop going to your local Chinese restaurant //

Better still, stop typing nonsense on your Chinese made computer or phone.

(I notice that India, Pakistan and Bangladesh abstained in the auN vote on Ukraine, so no onion bhajis for you.)

@01.00.I thought the"Chinese Virus"was a Chinese virus.Didnt it originate in a Chinese wet market?...or more probably a Chinese biological warfare unit.

Most Scientists have ruled out the escaped from a lab conspiracy theory, it originated in bats.
Patient zero had no connection to the market and lived many miles away. He was an elderly man and died a month before the market became an infection point.

From where did you get that piece of nonsense?

No doubt the internet.
It's the place where "experts" abound.

And AB has their fair share of "internet experts".

No, it's important that there is an independent country with power involved. China is probably the only country that can organise some sort of arbitration.

However having said that going forward the West really does need to re-evaluate where it gets its goods built.

[Zacs-Master]

Boycott Chinese restaurants! Jesus, what a crass thing to say on so many levels. And this is without the irony of te fact that the device used to make this post probably has quite a few Chinese components.

[dannyk13]

China declined to criticise but they also declined Putin's request for support.

[youngmafbog]

//Boycott Chinese restaurants//

Much akin to bashing Paediatricians.

[Zacs-Master]

Having had a brief, but disturbing, look back at Bravehearted’s other posts, this one is well within the scope of their usual powers of reasoning.

[ichkeria]

Instead of uselessly and unfairly boycotting Chinese restaurants (how ridiculous is that?) why not do something useful like donating to Ukrainian refugees or to the military

[dannyk13]

With a name like the OP's I would have thought that he would have been volunteering to join up with the Ukranians.

[ichkeria]

And if you don’t stop calling the country “THE Ukraine” I’ll boycott your posts.
And those of anyone who refuses to do so.
And anyone who refuses to boycott them, until I have disappeared up my own sanctimonious posterior.
So there :-)

[youngmafbog]

I think The England should support The Ukraine ;-)

[Gromit]

Russia calls the place The Ukraine because they think it is part of Russia, like we might refer to The North (of England). The country is called Ukraine, and anyone using a different terminology is following Moscow’s reasoning.
