Anyone know?

Not much.

nothing much possibly eastern Europe gaining the manufacturing industry

Though why on Earth would you want to piss of China?

Because of Human Rights abuses

Anyone know?It'd probably go bankrupt. Consider that 70% of the world's toy production is in China. The proportion of cheap clothing is also quite high.

If you want to cut off trade with every country with a poor human rights record then we'll be very lonely in Britain.

that’s a tad silly no? especially since we already cut offensive missile sales to them for it!

Plus the Chinese have it in for us enough as it is...

according to this the UK doesn't export much to China, you would lose about 5% of your total imports though.

Could an alternative source not be used for the products that China supplies? And could we supply whatever products were supplied to China, to another country instead to keep the revenue up?

It's not about Human Rights records, it's about a country that STILL abuses Human Rights, even the right to speak freely.

I think a better reason is they want to annex...er re nationalize other Asian countries, and Alaska.

Oh, that's the whole point. You would have to and it would cost a fortune since China is pretty much the one big producer on the toy market. Just look at the packaging of what you eat and buy. Appliances, car parts, toys... most of that stuff is produced in China. It's pretty scary.

Oops, better make sure that none of our oil comes from the middle east then. Should probably stop trading with the US as well, that Guantanamo thing is pretty suspect on Human rights grounds.

Alaska? They can't be serious. The US would make sure that what remains of their population after the war would be sterile and glow in the dark.

Well supposing it wouldn't actually be economically viable (though it would be morally fine) to stop trading relations with China, USA, etc... what exactly CAN be done about countries (such as China and the USA) that abuse Human Rights?

All two+ billion of them? They want allot of land, and have the patience to use it and its population to their advantage. They're like a smarter Nazi that can put up with Jews

And the US wants a lot of oil and is willing to use it's nuclear arsenal, the largest in the world, to protect what it's got.

Sorry dude, the US is invasion proof. If the Chinese PLAN don't get completely destroyed by the US Navy and they do manage to land troops on Alaska the US army will have them outgunned and probably outnumbered (PLAN is a joke and couldn't deliver the needed men and weapons fast enough even if the US navy didn't wipe them out). China's only hope is to try to cripple us with nuclear weapons, and we've got more and better nuclear weapons.

Of course the US is invasion proof. I think that China really wouldn't act on it until the US blows itself up, or some other nonesense. China has shown it is will to wait for an ideal oppertunity. They've had the plan for years but have only taken over Tibet.

I'm not worried. By the time some cataclysmic event happens that would weaken the US enough to be invaded by China Alaska's oil will be long gone and I will have been in the grave for several decades at least.

And Chinese toys will still be garbage...

Tesco will collapse over night. The domino effect will be disastrous.
