    Europe should not only just aim at boycotting from the US, but also from China where many of these cheap products come from. It wouldn’t make sense to replace Amazon by Temu.

      China with all its problems and human rights violations is not threatening to invade and annex territory associated with an EU member state.

      People unfortunately care very little about the shit countries do to other people and only get interested when them themselves are at threat. Another commentator pointed out how in Denmark his local Burger King was practically empty. I still see people go to Burger King quite a lot where i live. Meanwhile Tesla is getting quite some attention here in Germany because Musk openly embraced the fascist AfD, while in Norway Tesla sales are affected much less.

      Unfortunately we are not yet united on boycotting the US, so we have to work more on it.

        Sure, but they militarily support a country that is actively invading a neighbouring country since 2014 and is threatening to invade both EU- and NATO-member states.

      The difference is that China was and is run by the CCP for a long time. However the US just recently turned away from being somewhat democratic. So Europeans do not change their attitude on China that much, which in general is relativly negative anyway.
