Erdogan says Turkey to 'boycott' US electronic goods

Chinese crap is common in Belguim.. i'm sure it's the same in USA or Arab countries.
Many thinks are also imported from Viatnam.

 

Dunno... are them MAGA hats falling apart or something?

 

AMD is an American company. Chinese half-slaves just assemble the final product. Profits go to the US.

 

Just because a final assembly was done in China does not mean it’s a Chinese product. You need to learn the difference.

 

It does, since it was made there. I dunno how you could call it made somewhere else when it's not stitched together.

 

Then you just don’t get it.
Look at iPhones - they are assembled in China. Does it mean China gets any profits? Or does it mean Chinese wokers who did a manual job got paid according to Chinese labor laws and everything else went to the US?

 

They aint being made for free. And in the case of the MAGA hats,.. if they are stitched together in that country, than it's indeed made in China. Otherwise you just got some rags. And as far as I know.... there aint nothing wrong with the stitches of them MAGA hats. Dunno where them complaints come from it's all trash.

 

So are the VW's that are made in Mexico German or Mexican cars?

 

I am a US citizen married to a Turk and have lived here since 2004, and mean to spend my last years in this wonderful country. By and large the Turks are warm hearted and generous people and a great deal more tolerant of diversity than is true of many other countries. The basic quality and character of the country was established by Ataturk in 1923 and despite Erdogan's efforts to dismantle them, the secular and democratic nature of this government will endure. All autocrats and dictators bluster on for a while, but eventually succumb to the inevitable.

 

There are plenty of American's and European's who are well aware of injustice's in the past and you have plenty of White Progressives who hold onto their White guilt. But don't overlook Turkey. We are all aware of the Armenian genocide and while you may have left Christians in the Balkans mostly alone, Turks forcibly removed thousands of teenage Christians from their families to forcibly convert them to Islam and turn them into Janissary soldiers. And don't forget, all the lands that belonged to the Ottoman empire was taken from Christians and Jews.
