“買中國來的東西意味著支持奴役”
【大紀元12月23日訊】 我對從奴役的主人那裏購買便宜的商品感到厭惡。正因爲此，15年前我就停止購買中國製造的商品。
最近，一家中文報紙指中國是“世界上最大的流氓國家”並提出“中共政府56年裏殺害了8000萬自己的同胞。”爲什麽？
我們都知道原因：爲推行奴役制。酷刑，監禁和謀殺停止了嗎？連最崇拜中國的那些人都不提倡這個。我有太多的中國朋友覺得他們和那些把自己的人民當作奴隸的人做生意在道義上是清白的。
我們這些在自由世界的人必須找出比“哪里有最便宜的價格和最好的質量”更好的購買理由，我們需要比“在哪里可以得到最大的回報”更好的投資理由。
如果加拿大支援奴役制，奴役制將在加拿大和外國一樣盛行。
我有信心我們將活的更快樂、更健康和更富裕，當我們重新回到與我們的鄰居做生意，與那些尊重自由和個體尊嚴的手工藝人和國家做生意。因爲我們希望我們的孩子將享有這些權利。
順便提一下，我願意多花30％的錢去購物，這也將花費我兩倍或三倍的時間來購物，這也意味我買的東西比以前少了一半。所以這是一個三贏的局面！
有意思的是，我發現當我問到“哪些東西不是中國的奴工製造的”，售貨員都會立即變得很友好和合作。
爲了世界的和平和爲人類的美好願望。

Buying goods from China means supporting slavery
It is repulsive to me to take advantage of slaves by purchasing goods from their masters. For that reason, 15 years ago I stopped buying Chinese-made products.
Recently, a Chinese national was published referring to China as “the world’s largest rogue state” and charged that the Communist Chinese government has in 56 years killed “80 million of her own people.” Why? We all know why: to enforce slavery. Has the torture, imprisonment and murder stopped? Not even China’s most ardent admirers suggest that.
I have too many dear Chinese friends to feel morally clean doing business with those who keep their people in enforced servitude. We in the free world must find better reasons for buying than “where is the cheapest price and best quality?” We need higher reasons for investing than “where is the greatest return?”
If Canadians support slavery, slavery will prevail �” in Canada as well as abroad. I am confident that we will be a happier, healthier and richer people when we return to doing business with our own neighbours at their small businesses, with craftsmen and nations who are culturing freedom and personal dignity �” as we all hope our own children will have the privilege of doing.
By the way, in order to put my money where my mouth is, I am willing to spend 30 per cent more for the things I buy. It also takes double or triple the time to shop. That means I now buy about half as much as I used to �” so it’s a win-win-win situation!
Interestingly, I have found that sales people are immediately friendly and co-operative when I ask for goods “not made in China by slaves.”
For peace on earth, good will toward men.
