China isn’t Canada’s friend. Spending money on Chinese goods means you are funding Russia’s war against Ukraine.

If you need to import something, why not import it from the EU? They make EVs. As does South Korea.

    This reasoning is weird. Was buying American goods or UK goods or German goods funding Israel's genocide in Gaza??

    Why buying Chinese goods funding Chinese genocide in Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia?

    Are you asking me or the person I'm responding to? They are the one that started talking about buying things as funding genocides. I merely questioned the consistency of applying the principle.
