Some Pinoys, Vietnamese in US boycott Chinese products
ELTON LUGAY, THE FILAM June 25, 2012 9:30am

Dozens of Filipinos and Vietnamese Americans joined forces as they called for a boycott of Chinese products and urged Beijing to stop its creeping aggression toward countries around the South China Sea.

“Boycott Made-in-China,” said Eric Lachica of the U.S. Pinoys for Good Governance, which organized the rally held June 22 in front of the United Nations headquarters.

China’s claims over the West Philippines’ Sea in the Panatag Shoal (or Scarborough) and over Vietnam’s Sea are a recurring dispute. Both countries maintain China has been violating international laws of the sea.

Dr. Hoi Van Do, president of the Vietnamese community in Florida said his country and the Philippines are on the same side of the issue.

“Communist China dominates and takes over our islands and Scarborough Shoal of the Philippines,” he told The FilAm. “We are against them and we support you against them.”

Filipinos and Vietnamese leaders are slated to meet with the CEOs of major retailers like Wal-Mart, Costco, K-mart, Home Depot and others, urging them to stop selling Chinese-made merchandise. They said they would warn retail chains about communist China’s “imperialistic policies and undemocratic rule and widespread human and labor rights violations.”

Dr. Do and many rally organizers, such as Rene Ballenas and Bambi Lorica, pledged they were even willing to stay away from Chinese restaurants.

“We are global citizens scattered throughout the world who can mobilize and galvanize public opinion against China,” said rally speaker Joe Ramos said. “China’s export economy is very vulnerable.”

Lachica said the Boycott-China campaign will “change history,” harnessing the support of millions of Asian Americans. He said People Power in America could start with the 1.5 million Vietnamese in the U.S. and the approximately four million Filipino Americans.

“If only one million of us, Filipinos, out of the four million will not buy Chinese products or goods just once a month, we will create a huge financial penalty on China. China will lose almost a quarter of a billion dollars per year,” Lachica projected.

He stressed Filipinos are not against Chinese people or Chinese American friends, but “if we value our economy and our freedom of labor, we should boycott and not buy Chinese communist products.”

He said further that the global community should close ranks against Beijing’s bullying and be made aware that the communist government is using its might to encroach on smaller countries like the Philippines and Vietnam.

“This is treachery, an invasion of Philippine territory,” Loida Nicolas Lewis, chair of the U.S. Pinoys for Good Governance, said in a statement. “Their (China) ships are still in the Panatag Shoal and continue to violate international laws. We want this issue brought to the United Nations International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea. China has refused to agree. China’s government is belligerent.” - The FilAm

another big move;

1) junk all chinese imported goods (food, textiles, vehicles, toys, electronics, etc)

2) cancel all importation by china of metals like iron, cement, copper and gold (main ingredient used in construction and electronics)

3) transfer all investments from china to other nations

the Philippines can in fact cut trade with china since the exchange is in favor of china.

they will lose more.

we can find other markets for our product anyway.

After years of discussions, fresh Philippine bananas are poised to enter the United States for the first time.
Agriculture officials on Monday confirmed that multinational giant Dole Philippines would “soon” be exporting bananas from Mindanao to the US mainland, now that phytosanitary tests on the fruits had been completed by US inspectors.
“They are now discussing freight costs,” said Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala, noting that the US is farther than the Philippines’ traditional markets for bananas and would thus incur higher freight costs. “We have to make sure that our freight is competitive,” he added.

The Philippines first asked the US in December 2005 to allow fresh bananas to enter the mainland, but negotiations were stalled due to quarantine and phytosanitary issues. With the resolution of these issues, Alcala said he was confident Philippine bananas would be a hit in the US. “Our bananas are better-tasting and more competitive,” he said.
Bananas are the country’s second-top dollar earner next to coconuts. The banana export industry uses some 80,000 hectares of land spread out in 13 provinces in Mindanao.

Philippines should CEASE/STOP all Chinese Mining activities and Importation of Mining Resources here in our country which Chinese need to fuel their economy to build steels and metal products.. That would hurt their economy very bad...

Reason: all these Iron Ore, Chromite, Copper and other Metal resources that China imports are the same materials that they used to build their Naval Warships, Ammunitions, Artillery Shells, Missiles and other Weapons to be use against us.

Your no. 3 was already happening little by little. Some of the companies were already pulling out from China.

There's a few more links, I just can't remember how to find them. Many IT based firms were already eyeing the ASEAN countries. Kainis di ko matandaan kasi ibang mga links ng news na nabasa ko about sa business and economies.

Filipinos in US boycott Chinese products
By Nathaniel R. Melican | Philippine Daily Inquirer
4:35 am | Sunday, July 15th, 2012

MANILA, Philippines—A group of Filipinos based in the United States, who led a worldwide day of protest against China in May, is spearheading a continuous boycott of Chinese products.

Loida Nicolas-Lewis, chair of the US Pinoys for Good Governance (USP4GG), said the group’s move to stop using all kinds of Chinese products was a way of matching China’s diplomatic and military arrogance in claiming Panatag Shoal and the Kalayaan Group of Islands in the West Philippine Sea.


The USP4GG is an umbrella organization of professional Filipinos with a membership of thousands.

“The ‘Boycott China Products Initiative’ will not be limited to Filipinos. This campaign will be carried out worldwide,” Lewis said in a press conference.

Immigration lawyer Ted Laguatan, the group’s spokesperson, said he expected the campaign to go viral.

“We hope to achieve the level of response and outrage that was generated when the Americans found out that the US Olympic team’s uniforms for the London 2012 Olympics were made in China, despite being designed by Ralph Lauren, who is a distinctively American designer,” Laguatan said.

Laguatan further said that China’s claim to the Kalayaan Group of Islands and Panatag Shoal, which are within the Philippines’ 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone, should not be taken seriously.

“As a basis of their claim, they are using a 2,000-year-old map produced during the Han Dynasty which showed that all the territory covered by the waters of the South China Sea belonged to China.

“The argument is about as valid as Italy claiming that the whole of Europe and parts of Africa and Asia are theirs because it was once a part of the Roman Empire, or Macedonia claiming also most of Europe and Africa because it was once part of the Alexandrian Empire,” Laguatan said.

“It is no wonder China does not want the United Nations’ International Tribunal on the Laws of the Sea to settle the issue regarding its claim. They know the ridiculous argument will fail,” he added.

we have been unraveling here the vulnerability of the chinese economy.

weve stated several times in several threads in PDFF that china's economy is not yet safe since it's mainly an export driven economy.

it imports raw materials in the manufacture of steel and electronics.

it then exports the finished products.

you ruin either, and considering the fragile economy that needs to feed a big population, then china's economy is shaken.

now, china is trying to patch it up.

nevertheless, a concerted effort to isolate china from the global trade will be too much to bear even if their new economic strategy is put into effect.

yup...China's main economy mover is electronics and they import their basic materials like semiconductors from us. now if we tightened our grip to those ICs and Discrete components to those China made Electronics gadgets then we can send their economy into spiral downfall...

unfortunately we lose a lot of semiconductor companies here and went to China, Thailand and Malaysia. Seagate- Hard Drive manufacturer decided long time ago to transfer its operation from Philippines to Thailand and China.
