China

The Indians have a ongoing conflict with China. Some border lines in the high Himalayas are not clear. From time to time something is happening these.
I only know the Indian side. In the newspapers they write about 20 martyrs who died. Not sure, how many died at the Chinese side (40? But i am really not sure)
Because this is happening again and again, Indians run out of patience now, they want to boycott China.

But earlier the hate with China got some more fuel because of Corona Virus. I could feel the impact even before the virus reached India. It was in February when a Indian coughed in the face of Xi, my Chinese friend who walk with me that time. The media is strong in India for ‚China topics‘ and sometimes they are not responsible enough withbthere power.

I say: The both countries have to continue or intensify there talks, event though a result maid not to be seen soon. But you have to stay in talks on high political levels to minimize the risk of this happenings at the borders. Hate is no answer.
And it must be possible to negociate a agreement reguarding the unclear border lines in high Himalayas. But it needs good will and effort from both sides.

Boycott
I have also thought about boycotting China earlier. But for other reasons. Even before corona.
China is going to far mistreating the human rights.
1) Slowly the world hears more about the Muslim minority in China, the Uiguries in the far west. 100thousands of Uiguries are in re-education camps. Some days ago I read, that the government of China commands Uiguri women even to abortion…. a silent genocide
2) Relegions can’t be practised freely in China. Not only in Tibet, in the whole country, there are in front of every mosque, church, temple, any religious organisation, offices of the Chinese government. (I guess it has old history. When Tiananmen place (Platz des Himmlischen Friedens) was stormed in 1989 Chinese government learned in the same year, that revolution could start at a religious place (as in eastern Germany some month later))
3) Falun Gong, a very peaceful movement, practised also as Tai Chi with exercises in parks all over China, with 100 million followers is a enemy of the state. Falun Gong members, known as healthy, not drinking alcohol or taking drugs, are used as living storages for organ transplants!!!!
4) what is happening with Hongkong.
5) what will happen to Taiwan.
……
This are the main reasons

I admire on the other side what Chinese government did for the economy.
What they did for infrastructure,  especially building up a working High speed train system in such a short time….

(I don’t like the production of pics for China in Germany, and the slurry of excrements of all these pics are polluting the soil and water there – this I find extremely ugly – but it’s only a personal note)

But we are not allowed to mix up a boycott with hating people. The most people don’t have to do anything with this, they may even not know this all.
