How are you genuinely going to never buy anything from China? Good luck having no phone, no consumer goods, no gadgets, no clothes and no toys.
Make do, mend and go without. Every single time I'll do that with a tweet/facebook accompanying reference to the product I really want, could really use, but didn't buy. Making sure that if the brand or the retail outlet wants to notice how provenance affects my purchase choices, they can.
I love my iPad to a ridiculous extent. My phone has died. If the first goes on the blink I'll get the local "fixes stuff" guy to mend it if he can. Buy a reconditioned one if he can't. Telling Juice (our nearest Apple reseller) that despite my 15 year habit of rushing to them for a new one as soon as the old one goes boink (ditto for DH's and DS's)...I'm fixing or buying reconditioned only until Apple is China free and makes their stuff in the country/continent where I live. It'll hurt, but after 25 years of being Apple Only (started with a Mac Classic), I'll buy the first alternative that is China-free. Even though I know it won't be nearly as good. The phone... honestly I'm not going to bother getting a new one. I've enjoyed not being mithered all day. If a China-Free one comes out I'll buy in support of the initiative. But I'm only turning the bloody thing on at certain times of the day.
We have a local seamstress. My clothes will get fixed. Or limited to just a few things a year if I absolutely need new. I'm currently working on whittling down the fabric making firms in the nearest city to the China-free ones with no connection for production or raw materials. Same with shoes. There are a few companies here still surviving after China took over the industry and damn near destroyed the economy in that city.
I'll pay more for what I do buy. A lot more. It will take a lot of effort to shift through information so I know where all the bits of something came from. So overall I'll buy much much less stuff, cos the effort has to be worth it. I'm not committing hours and hours of poking around trying to work out if China is involved unless it's something I'm utterly desperate for.
I don't care anymore if I have to spend more money and more time when it comes to buying stuff. I don't care if everybody else wants to stick with "more stuff, cheap & easy, China.. oh well what can you do ?" and my efforts make no difference. I can do sweet fuck all for my friends whose parents have died in the last few weeks and days from this disease. I can't go to them. I can't hold them while they cry. I can't even go to the funeral from a safe distance. But I can do this, even if it's just the tiniest drop in an outsized ocean that I have no hope of influencing.
In lieu of any other way to stand up for our dead, the faces now missing from my small, rural town where everybody knows everybody.. this new "purse snapped shut unless I know where The Stuff comes from and the answer is Not China" will do. To remember that this didn't have to happen. They didn't have to die a horrible, suffocating death. Their adult children didn't have to be scarred with the trauma of a loss like that. And then be left all alone in their grief.
I'm done. This has been too much and will stay too much for years. Even if/when the virus is neutralised Italy still has to face the economic cost of all of this. My son's generation will still be paying for it when they are grandparents themselves. So I'm getting off the global economy consumer train. It has always had too high a human cost. But before now, it was all too easy for me to shrug and say "well what can you do ?". After however, it's whole different ball game.
I'm not convinced I'm the only one who feels this way. Not on this side of the alps. I don't think it'll be just me practicing China-free purchasing, at least to some degree. But I can live with it if I am.
