Should we buy Chinese instead of European? (hexbear.net)

There’s a popular community on Lemmy called BuyEuropean, but Europe’s voting record at the UN seems just as problematic as that of the US and Israel. This makes me question whether boycotting European products in favor of Chinese ones might be more ethical, even though there isn’t a dedicated community for that.

The best alternative I can think of is using AliExpress instead of Amazon. Does anyone know where to find alternatives to products made in China?

Fuck the haters, OP. Import as many treats as you can before everything collapses
