yingbo's essay ---opposite argument, my opinion

However, some people, mainly as domestic manufacturers and patriotisms argue boycotting imported products is an effective way to protect domestic markets and improve the status of domestic products in society. Let’s look at how they think of it. Boycotting imported products can reduce the number of imported products. Even a country’s market has no imported products. Boycotting imported products will help domestic products to occupy the markets rapidly. They believe that with reducing the number of imported products by boycotting, customers cannot compare their products with imported products and have to choose domestic products. If they succeed in boycotting, national industry will be protected and developed. Domestic products in society will be gained reputation by public again. If without boycott act, national industry will not be protected and developed. If number of customers who choose imported products are increasing, domestic manufacturers and domestic traders will make no profit and close. They will not develop. Eventually, they will be defeated by imported products. In their ideas, if a country wants to be rich and power, they must develop and protect national industries. National industry is essential in development of a country.
In my opinion, I don’t agree that protecting domestic products and national industry through boycott act. Domestic markets and national industry should be protected and developed, but, boycott act cannot effectively protect and develop domestic markets and national industry and it cannot help domestic products to improve the status in society. By contrast, boycott act might be caused a negative impact on a country’s economy. Why? With respect of consumers’ benefits, if imported products are boycotted, customers will get no information of fashionable things on world. With regard to manufacturers, they will not have any chance to improve their products through boycotting. If their products are not compared with any imported products, their products will not be improved. With reference to diplomacy, if a country boycott imported products, their diplomacy relationship will be affected. How do we protect national industry and improve the status of domestic products in society effectively? Firstly, improve techniques of manufacture through learning skills from other countries. Secondly, manufacturers are expected to get more information about advantages of imported products, such as designs. It will help them to broaden their vision. Domestic products which have fashionable design on world will be welcomed. Thirdly, domestic manufacturers are expected to improve their quality. Everyone likes to choose high-quality products. If domestic products are lower in quality than imported products, no one wants to buy them even if imported products are boycotted.
