Chinese President Xi Jinping met Tuesday with Taiwan’s opposition leader, underscoring Beijing’s message to the island’s independence-leaning administration that it won't have access to the mainland’s highest levels of power if it doesn’t accept that Taiwan is part of China.

Xi’s meeting with Nationalist Party Chairwoman Hung Hsiu-chu at the Great Hall of the People in the heart of Beijing comes months after China cut off communication and exchanges with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen’s administration.

Don’t buy mainland Chinese whenever you have the choice!

Don’t sell to the mainland of China.

Don’t lease to the mainland while the ChiComs remain.

Don’t partner with them, visit, or in any way support the continued functioning of the ChiComs.

I try not to buy products made there. For example, many fine guitars are being built there, but nothing compared to what we make in the states.

I will NEVER buy food stuffs from there, chicken, fish products, cans goods etc. NEVER.

We’ve totally shut down our fisheries. I bet the fish from China are from our waters.
