Boycott Chinese products (Boycott Made in China or stop using Chinese products, stop buying Chinese goods) is a slogan used by Internet campaigns that advocate a boycott of Chinese-made products. Commonly cited reasons for the boycott include the perceived low quality of products, territorial conflicts involving China, support for separatist movements within China, and objection to more specific matters relating to China, such as the eating of dog meat and the Yulin Dog Meat Festival. Countries including India, Philippines, and Vietnam have called for the boycott of Chinese goods, as have separatist movements in China itself. A full boycott of Chinese products would be difficult to achieve, as the country is responsible for the assembly of a high number of goods that are widely sold and used across the world. ==Causes== China is the largest country in the world by population, and the fourth largest by territory, sharing long borders with several other nations. Border conflicts have occurred many times between China and their neighbors during its history.〔Xiaobing Li (2012). ''China at War: An Encyclopedia''. Publisher ABC-CLIO. ISBN 1598844156. Preface XV.〕 At the center of Asia, some Chinese emperors attempted to expand their kingdom through war. As a result of these conflicts, there is dissent against China amongst its border nations, and calls for the boycotting of Chinese products originate from residual resentment due to border conflicts. In 1949, Chinese communists took control of China.〔Mikhail Iosifovich Sladkovskiĭ (1966). ''History of Economic Relations Between Russia and China''. Publisher Transaction Publishers. ISBN 1412825199. Page 236.〕 Since the 1980s, Chinese leaders have made economic development one of their first priorities. Chinese businesses often produce goods tailored to market expectations; therefore, Chinese products may not be high in quality 〔Pula, Gabor& Santabárbara, Daniel (March 2011). (Is China climbing up the quality ladder? Estimating cross country differences in product quality using Eurostat's COMEXT trade database ). WORKING PAPER SERIES.〕 when consumers prefer to pay a low price. Overpopulation is also an indirect reason for manufacturing low quality and fake products (counterfeiting). Many firms cannot find enough of the needed raw materials to produce goods that serve the customer requirements, producing instead counterfeit versions made with cheaper material. Others copy the products of famous corporations such as Apple, Hyatt and Starbucks, or have copied both the products of prominent brands and the entire store. The 2008 Chinese milk scandal was considered a signal of poor food safety, affecting thousands of people, and as a result many Chinese parents do not trust Chinese milk products. 〔(Why it’s Still So Hard to Find Safe Baby Formula ) By Qi Yue (启越) The Economic Observer Online 2013-06-13 17:44〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boycott Chinese products」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
