Given that this is a ycombinator site, has anyone thought about or started a startup (it's a really a product rather than a company, but still) that helps you optimize (say) Chinese products out of your life?
No Chinese products? I believe vegan is possible but no Chinese products? No chance. Not unless you live without electronics. But good idea anyways. Maybe a filter by country so you can optimise American and Israeli products out too.
I think a better idea would be to start a made in _____ site which lets customers choose to buy products made mostly within a certain country or set of countries. It can default to counties neighboring to the user, so as to promote locally made goods no matter what your locality is.
Is that not simply a boycott? Or voting with your wallet? “Cancel culture” has become a term to distort the problem when people start to be called out for bad behavior.
This is what you do when someone (person, company, country) does something you find objectionable. You tell them their behavior is unacceptable.
