Boycotting China

I know a few conservatives who refuse to buy goods made in China. More power to them. I'm not that hard over on it, and believe me, it would be a major impact on the average American lifestyle. It seems like every damn thing you look at that's reasonably priced is made in China.

For the record, I don't support the forced embargo of Cuba either, although I would not object to individuals who voluntarily boycott Cuba (a much easier proposition than boycotting China).

The thoughts may be admirable, but there is no consistency at all to boycotting Cuba and trading with China, or vice versa. Neither, or both, would be morally consistent.
