Do you also avoid any product manufactured in China, which runs child sweatshops and concentration camps for people? Or did you type the above message on a Mac?

This is a false equivalence. Buying factory-farmed meat directly supports its producers. The manufacturer of my laptop does not run the concentration camp for Uighers.
You really don't know how Chinese business operate, do you? The government owns stakes in virtually all business. Buying anything built in China directly supports the government.
I'm sorry, it's really not the same thing. At all.
