Reuters: More than half Chinese consumers shun U.S. goods due to trade war: survey
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - More than half Chinese consumers have avoided buying anything made in the United States in support of their country in an escalating trade war, a survey suggests, posing a “significant” risk to U.S. companies.
The poll, conducted by London-based advisory firm Brunswick which surveyed 1,000 Chinese consumers, said 56% of respondents had said they had avoided U.S. products, while 68% said their opinion of American firms had become more negative.

ReplyDeleteNo more Chinese takeout for my family!
ReplyDeleteGood for them, I have been avoiding German and Japanese products for most of my life and I was born 40 years after the war ended.
ReplyDeleteMy father law said VW had blood on it. I said I would take it to the car wash
ReplyDelete"Chinese shun US goods"
ReplyDeleteAll 20 of them?
In my home town USA products I need are usually too expensive, poor quality, or unavailable. I guess my city in the USA shares a lot in common with China. With one exception. In China I can eat pork that has no pharmaceuticals in it that in the USA are considered risky and need a prescription and physician oversight.
ReplyDeleteRsocal...you are a real charmer. Lucky you live in the bluest state in the nation which allows you to express your liberal yack.
ReplyDeleteLiberal yack? Nope. I just become "charmed" when I read stupid assed comments like the one you wrote above.
ReplyDeleteYou must be new here.
/WELCOME,
R,
Well, Socal, if you ever left your liberal Mecca in CA and read a bit you would see that my comments represent what real American's experience every day. Your yack ain't worth two bits to real American's who don't live in your socialist mecca. Then again maybe you have eaten too many pork chops with drugs in them outlawed by every country but three in North America. Bet you double down on Floride as well.
ReplyDeleteHere is to you living large and dangerous in SOCAL! The left coast.
See ya later...
Anon - you seem obsessed with pigs and drugs. Let me guess, Iowa.
ReplyDeleteYACK,
R,
How did you guess? Chinese won't take pork with drugs used here. Just banned Canadian pork for illegal use of drugs we eat every day. Darn right it's stupid for Feds to make us eat dangerous drugs and at same time screw up sales outside of North America. Pres is pushing China to take drug laced pork. Moron. Drugs make pigs deformed and hobbled while increasing lean meat. Destroys international market opportunities and force feeds them to us. Worst of all outcomes.
ReplyDeleteDarn right I am pissed off.
