A genius commenter said that if we're criticizing China's claim over Batanes, then we should stop using products made in China.
Fair enough. While we're at it, let's also stop using American products.
Delete Facebook.
Throw away your Android phone. Yes, even if it was made in China. Android is developed by Google, an American company.
Switch to Weibo? Great idea. Oh wait... your phone still runs Android.
Fine. Use a Windows PC instead.
Oops. Microsoft is American too.
Maybe let's just go back to carving on rocks.
Sovereignty is not determined by who you trade with. Countries trade with allies, rivals, and even adversaries every single day. Trade is commerce. Territorial claims are a completely different issue.
Following that logic, we should also stop eating siomai.
Although... stopping rice imports and supporting Filipino farmers? Now that's actually worth discussing.
