Extremely difficult , as a society we sold our souls for cheap labour building cheaper goods , wage demands spiralled in in heavy industry and manufacturing and off shore it goes .. it will happen again ..

You need the West to be brave and say enough is enough , we need to accept higher prices for the sake of all our futures ..

How can we do that when practically everything we buy is either made in China or contains components that are made there? We have sold our souls to China and now we reap what we have sown. In the same way we are hugely dependent on the Middle East for oil and so far this time around they are being "nice" to us by increasing output. We should have learnt the lessons of the 70's and got into renewables development big time 40 years ago.

I tend to buy local , and use farm shops for food ,and usually look into where the product is made before making an informed decision

He was wearing £500 gloves and a £3,500 coat from ASDA, so it made typing a bit tricky.

Don't be daft.

Muslims in Palestine are the ones people care about. They don't care about the ones in China. Keep up

Clearly my message had a hidden agenda which has totally by passed you….. if it’s not on mainstream it’s not a concern to the masses.

The Centre for Alternative Energy (CAT) was established in Machynlleth in 1973 but I think was regarded as a rather fringe, hippy-like enterprise. It is now a respected educational centre.

Yes, the technology was in its infancy then, but the oil crisis should have spurred on the development of renewable energy rather than going back to the same old-same old when it was over.

I think it may be the other way round. Boycotting Chinese goods is next to impossible on an individual level.
