Boycotting in this case is a tool to make China stop doing bad things. Germany used to have concentration camps, they don't now.

Boycotting is not what stopped Germany though.

You must have studied the Second World Boycott in school?!

Yes, but military confrontation is bad idea in nuclear age.

In case of China there are concrete and contemporary things that people don't like. Like concentration camps. I dunno if boycot is an effective tool, but it's something. I think it's more important to stop the crime that is happening at the moment.

And we locked children in cages and separated them from their parents. You can find something to be outraged about in any country you care to look at.

Yes and all these issues should be dealt with.

It will put pressure on the CCP to act like humans. The same happened with France and their anti-Islamic rhetoric after the Muslim population boycotted French products. The CCP is already committing atrocities against its Muslim population, and a stop needs to be put to it.

I take OP's point but...the Chinese people guard the concentration camps, the Chinese people hack and attack other nation's infrastructure, and the Chinese people are ultimately the ones who put the bullet in the gun to kill you. Say what you will about the Chinese government, but it is still the Chinese people that keep it in power. The people are not blameless.

Adding "This is well known, don't deny it" won't make your saying automatically turns to truth. Let me show you some number, there are 24 thousands masjids in Xinjiang now (only 1.4 thousands in 1980s). If their religion is forbidden, why the number of masjids is growing?

Do you have a source on the numbers?

I found a 2020 article stating that ~16000 mosques (65%) were destroyed, mostly since 2017 https://www.aspi.org.au/report/cultural-erasure

You think ASPI can be considered as independent reporters?

No. I mean government claims could be independently verified if there is free press in a country.
