1. I agree with that surcharge. But I would like to have the option to choose: the cheaper one from China or the +30% one made in the USA/EU one.
2. Please stop saying this "it is only the CCP, Chinese are OK". 100 million people are in the CCP and the approval rating of the CCP is extremly high. I worked in China, I used to travel to China very often (before the Covid crisis happened). Normal people are very much positive towards the CCP. I my eyes this "I have the CCP, but Chinese people are OK" argument is flawed. You could argue that you oppose the system of the PRC and you favor the democratic system, but "CCP BAD, PEOPLE OK" is flawed and speaks against hundreds of million of Chinese people. And now, downvote me into the oblivion, because my reply is not going mainstream - as always.
A poll of nearly 20,000 people carried out by Cary Wu from the York University in Ontario Canada in 2020 found that Chinese people’s trust in their own state government had risen to 98 per cent."
Saying that Chinese people are okay, and are not necessarily represented by the actions of the Chinese state, isn't about anything more than trying to prevent violence and hate from being targeted towards ethically East Asian-looking people. There is precedence for this kind of violence, and if we're angry at China for human rights abuses, we should not breed an environment in which the human rights of Chinese people are put at risk in other countries.
