What do you think of this boycott?

There are many comments from netizens about this boycott. Some people call for "we can be rational and don't blindly boycott Japanese and American goods", while others denounce "this is not patriotism, but trouble" and "hurting our compatriots in the name of patriotism", while others call for "it is better to boycott idiots than to boycott Japanese and American goods".

the attitude of the police is more distinct. A frontline policeman in Jiangsu said in an interview with radian that since July 17, many netizens have spread the call to boycott American goods through WeChat friends circle and invited them to protest in KFC. The local police made a decisive decision and asked the relevant KFC stores to temporarily suspend business, close their doors and turn off the lights. "We are law enforcement. Whoever violates the law and commits a crime will be resolutely dealt with according to law, no matter what the name of the suspect is." The police officer said.

In addition, the police in Ganyu District of Lianyungang issued a circular yesterday, prohibiting people from holding illegal assemblies, processions and demonstrations, and it is also forbidden to organize or incite others to hold illegal assemblies, processions and demonstrations through the Internet, mobile phone text messages and other means. The Public Security Bureau of Siyang County, Suqian City also said through the official Weibo that "patriotism, please don't vent your anger on your own territory" and appealed to the masses not to do the behavior of "those who are close to you will be quick to get revenge".
