An online boycott campaign is currently raging in China against a French supermarket chain. I am so reminded here of the famous “freedom fries” debate in the US during Iraq War where patriotic Americans poured French wine on the streets to oppose their anti-war position. The same happened also earlier in the late 1980s when France conducted nuclear tests despite international pressure. Again: the key focus of the boycott was French wine and food. Now, comments such as this have been circulating online (See Global Voices Online for full coverage)
We hope you are able to boycott Carrefour at least on 1 May, to deliver, by the empty Carrefour that day, one message to the western world: Chinese shouldn’t be humiliated! Chinese people shouldn’t be insulted!
The boycott against Carrefour is going to spreading all over the country, and we anticipate your presence! Thank you.
OR:
Support Olympic, oppose Tibet-independence; boycott French products and Carrefour!
