【大纪元12月23日讯】 我对从奴役的主人那里购买便宜的商品感到厌恶。正因为此，15年前我就停止购买中国制造的商品。
最近，一家中文报纸指中国是“世界上最大的流氓国家”并提出“中共政府56年里杀害了8000万自己的同胞。”为什么？
我们都知道原因：为推行奴役制。酷刑，监禁和谋杀停止了吗？连最崇拜中国的那些人都不提倡这个。我有太多的中国朋友觉得他们和那些把自己的人民当作奴隶的人做生意在道义上是清白的。
我们这些在自由世界的人必须找出比“哪里有最便宜的价格和最好的质量”更好的购买理由，我们需要比“在哪里可以得到最大的回报”更好的投资理由。
如果加拿大支援奴役制，奴役制将在加拿大和外国一样盛行。
我有信心我们将活的更快乐、更健康和更富裕，当我们重新回到与我们的邻居做生意，与那些尊重自由和个体尊严的手工艺人和国家做生意。因为我们希望我们的孩子将享有这些权利。
顺便提一下，我愿意多花30％的钱去购物，这也将花费我两倍或三倍的时间来购物，这也意味我买的东西比以前少了一半。所以这是一个三赢的局面！
有意思的是，我发现当我问到“哪些东西不是中国的奴工制造的”，售货员都会立即变得很友好和合作。
为了世界的和平和为人类的美好愿望。

Buying goods from China means supporting slavery
It is repulsive to me to take advantage of slaves by purchasing goods from their masters. For that reason, 15 years ago I stopped buying Chinese-made products.
Recently, a Chinese national was published referring to China as “the world’s largest rogue state” and charged that the Communist Chinese government has in 56 years killed “80 million of her own people.” Why? We all know why: to enforce slavery. Has the torture, imprisonment and murder stopped? Not even China’s most ardent admirers suggest that.
I have too many dear Chinese friends to feel morally clean doing business with those who keep their people in enforced servitude. We in the free world must find better reasons for buying than “where is the cheapest price and best quality?” We need higher reasons for investing than “where is the greatest return?”
If Canadians support slavery, slavery will prevail �” in Canada as well as abroad. I am confident that we will be a happier, healthier and richer people when we return to doing business with our own neighbours at their small businesses, with craftsmen and nations who are culturing freedom and personal dignity �” as we all hope our own children will have the privilege of doing.
By the way, in order to put my money where my mouth is, I am willing to spend 30 per cent more for the things I buy. It also takes double or triple the time to shop. That means I now buy about half as much as I used to �” so it’s a win-win-win situation!
Interestingly, I have found that sales people are immediately friendly and co-operative when I ask for goods “not made in China by slaves.”
For peace on earth, good will toward men.
