China is under heavy scrutiny nowadays due to increasing unemployment, an emerging middle-class increasingly addicted to luxuries (high-end technology), and greater expectations for living standards and education - yet again unheard-of in its history. Lost amid some of the commotions is a growing anti-Beijing sentiment that has been steadily evolving due to a few environmental events, revisions in the constitution, and what can be described only as China’s steady rebellion against democracy. China has a good setup system to manufacture in large quantities to reduce the price of its goods. As panic over a trade war grows in the U.S., here are some reasons people should boycott Made-In-China products.

Chinese products?
