I said not much , not nothing. When our sons and daughters or grandchildren are in uniform in theater opinions will change, I would just hope and pray that something changes before that. No, hypocritical would be complaining about something you don’t like a country is doing, and then sending your money to them, that’s kind of the definition of a hypocrite. If you read my posts or many others not just here but on other forums you would know that its not just about not buying MIC binoculars. I don’t overlook that a huge portion of goods and or the materials are made in the CCP. I just try my best to choose products even at additional costs, even if it lowers my standards of living a little bit than to buy MIC. And as far as items that are not MIc, but the nuts and bolts are, that’s a real hard one to get away from.Well, the answer is clear then - you say "not much will", I say "nothing will".
We all continue buying cars, TVs, solar panels, mobile phones, basically everything, and we love to overlook that all of these goods - or theit components - are to a large part now MIC. So we don't have to go into politics (which the BF admins don't like) to figure out that using the term "shame" is basically hypocritical, unless we all drastically change our purchasing habits. It's not done by just not buying binos that are MIC ......
To clarify my point is that a lot of very good entry level and mid level optics are made in a communist country and I prefer that they were made almost anywhere else. So like all of us you have your choice hypocritical as it may be to continue to buy Chinese goods without second thought.
