Where's the logic? Anyone home? Hello?

Boycotting the French govnment by not shopping in Carrefours in China doesn't do anything but harms hundreds of Chinese Carrefour workers and and thousands of Chinese product suppliers in China.

Look at it this way: assume in Denmark, for example, some would want to boycott China by not going to Chinese restaurants in Denmark. If that would continue for long, the people in Denmark would end up paying some of the unemployment of the restaurant people there, while it would't have any impact to China.

Instead, what would work is this: Just don't travel to the country you want to boycott. That would do two things: 1) it would send a message and 2) it would do much less harm in your own country.
