I think boycotting one another would lead us backwards. We should try to improve our own economy than to blame others. You can always implement larger taxes on import if you want to promote your domestic industry.
I am also against the copyright things. IMO there should be no copyright in anything except art and literature.
The world seems so fucked up when you know they have copyright on life saving medicine and technology.
We're helping others turn their wealth into billions they don't even have what to do with by buying their extremely overpriced products *cough*
Apple *cough* while flipping off those who produce stuff in China that's much, much cheaper although of the approximately same quality (not
all products, obviously - you have to know how to choose the right sellers) and blaming them as if they've done something bad.
I've personally bought some extremely cheap stuff from China that I'm still using up to this date without ever having any issues. Stuff that's being sold over here in the EU for $20 that I bought from China for under $5. That's more than 4x difference. And if that isn't enough, most shops from my country sell
exactly the same products I buy from China, but 4-5x more expensive.

Good for you then, but don't put everyone in the same boat with you. The number of persons using only FOSS software and operating systems is very, very low. I know 0 friends that have never watched movies for free off Popcorn Time, never got cracked games/software for free or bought a legit copy of Windows. Myself included, and I live in Europe.
Had I bought legit copies of Photoshop, Windows and everything else I have ever used, I would have had to probably work half an year just to buy them considering the wages in my country. The thing is, I have never even heard of free-to-use software of Adobe's/Windows' level until recently. The free software is flipped off by many and all the support goes to billionaires. I'd rather have an issue with them than with the Chinese/Indians.
indians and chinese take all our jobs and we can't afford to pay win,mac keys or adobe subscriptions anymore
If you can't afford to pay for Windows/Mac OS X/Adobe codes anymore, why do you expect them to afford paying $95 for your drawing? This looks more like some issue you're having with the Indians and Chinese. Just don't put them all in the same boat..
Almost anything I'd look at from my house says "Made in China" underneath the said product. Some Indians/Chinese may try to replicate high quality products and technology, but so do some USA and European companies producing & selling phones very close to iPhone's design. So do some online casinos with their website features & design.
Try to buy nothing anymore that's been made in China and you'd find yourself running out of money soon. Chinese and Indian products are easier to afford than those made in the western countries. One very quick and basic example is: look at the latest iPhone specs & its price and then take a look at Xiaomi's best spec product out there & its price. And guess what, iPhone is known by many as an USA company but guess where most of their products come from..
