Nearly 80 percent of Americans would boycott Chinese-made products to counter CCP aggression: poll

A new poll conducted by the Convention of States Action in partnership with the Trafalgar Group surveyed Americans on the measures they'd be willing to take as citizens to counter the aggressive behavior of the Chinese Communist Party and limit reliance on products made in the nation.

Results showed that the vast majority of respondents supported boycotting Chinese-made products if it would help support the US fight against the actions of the CCP.



According to the poll, 78.7 percent of the 1000 likely general election voters surveyed said they'd be "willing to stop purchasing Chinese products as a means to help counter the aggressive actions of the Chinese Communist Party, and lessen America's dependence on Chinese manufacturing."

Around 10 percent said they would not, and 11.4 percent were unsure.

There was a bipartisan consensus that a boycott could be beneficial, however, Republicans expressed support at a higher rate than their Democratic counterparts, at 92.1 percent to 74.2 percent, respectively. Just over 67 percent of independents also said they'd be willing to take part in a boycott.

Convention of States Action President Mark Meckler noted that the results of the poll were in line with prior surveys on the issue.
 

“Previous polling we conducted have repeatedly shown that Americans are taking the threat from the Chinese Communist Government seriously and want President Biden and the US government to take decisive action in containing the threat from China," he said. "What is notable in this poll though is that Americans are so concerned about the threat posed by the Chinese government that they are willing to take action themselves to restrict China's manufacturing monopoly that feeds the CCP beast."

Meckler went on to suggest that the results proved the US had "reached a national moment of awareness and understanding."

As China ramps up its geopolitical activities, there have been calls from Republicans and Democrats alike to lessen the United States' dependence on the country's manufacturing, with more politicians calling for industry to make a return on this side of the Pacific.
