I did not really want to get into this; politics per se are generally meant to be off limits in this forum. But as you continue to probe.
If we might set aside obvious exemplars or artefacts of the Nazi regime, or objects connected with certain notorious locations, for hopefully obvious reasons—surely, the issue is not with physical objects generally manufactured in a certain country during a certain period, per se. Rather it is with a regime, government, military force etc. Yes?
OK. My present concern is with the human rights violations being perpetrated right now, in 2022, which are sanctioned by the government of China. I will not go into detail about these, because (a) they are too numerous to easily do so and: (b) reliable information about them is not that hard to find for anybody outside of China, who wishes to look for it.
Boycotting China? I'm Australian, China is Australia's biggest trading partner. To try and live an ordinary daily life here without interacting with their products, to any extent, I would say is impossible. I cannot do that, (and to be fair never said, or implied I could, or would). What I can, however do as a consumer is to consider the options available to me if they exist when I purchase items, and choose accordingly when I can, and in my daily life my wife and I actively do this. I'm disappointed to have had to spell all this out—I believe my choice of words in my original comment conveyed it succinctly and clearly. How I exercise my discretionary spending is a matter of conscience for me. It's not a question of moral superiority. To me at least, it's a moral imperative.
