I wouldn't expect everyone to know or to remember what Toshiba did. Selling the tech needed to improve the Russian Nuclear Subs propellers only made it into the papers for about a day or two and as far as i know it was barely mentioned at all on TV.

It all happened back in 1986 or 1987 - Toshiba sold milling machine technology used to mill our sub props as a single piece.
I was in college at ISU at the time, owned a Toshiba boom box which was thrown out of my car window at 55 miles per hour after a few many beers after leaving the local races.

The labs for one of the electronics engineering programs I attended used Toshiba oscilloscopes and one of the teachers had ALL of them removed, returned to Toshiba and replaced with Hewlett-Packard units.
Oh and the teacher - Vietnam vet and joined us for many beers at the local pubs.

In the event any of y'all have a boycott against Chinese goods, this might be helpful.

Every time I hear of a boycott, it reminds me of Yugo's idiot uncle Cesar Chavez.

Jewelry is cheap from homeless-owned businesses. Their only overhead is an overcoat.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

I am not really into teeth necklaces though.
