Assertive debate topic: Buying domestic brand products is a patriotic act

Let's see which one you can use. You can't prepare only one side for the debate. "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."

First of all, I want to affirm that "buying domestic products is indeed a kind of patriotism." Behavior" because:

1. It can promote the development of our national industry.

For example, the four countries that produce color photographic film in the world are: the United States, Japan, Germany and China. The American "Kodak" and Japan's "Fuji" and "Konica" have monopolized the global market. The Americans have never published their patented technology for producing color rolls. The Japanese have also caught up from behind through independent research. It has become the world's largest monopoly. As for China's "Lucky" lottery, due to its late start and insufficient scientific research funding, there is indeed a certain gap in technology between Japan and the United States. But it is also very good for ordinary people's daily household use.

In order to squeeze out our national lottery "Lucky" industry, the Japanese have not hesitated to use all bad means over the years: overt exports, covert smuggling, low-price dumping... The purpose is to squeeze out Our national lottery industry.

I admire all the staff of our "Lucky" lottery factory very much. Over the years, they would rather continue to carry out independent scientific research and continuously improve product quality under the difficult situation of insufficient scientific research funds, extremely low profits from setting up factories, and great external pressure. This fine tradition of growing their own ambitions. How can we occupy the international market if our national industry cannot develop?

Let me state that I am not exclusive. It is also necessary to appropriately import some high-quality color photos of Japanese and American products. But for the lottery tickets that we ordinary people use every day, why don’t we use the domestically produced “Lucky”? I thought that buying our domestically produced "Lucky" to promote our national industry was an act of patriotism. If you still can't do this, at least you shouldn't be greedy for cheap or buy parallel imports to encourage Japan's ambition to squeeze out our national industry. (For many years, the number of "water" goods has been far greater than the number of officially imported products)

2. Purchasing domestic products can reduce our country's foreign exchange expenditures. This is very beneficial to enriching the country and strengthening its people. I don't have to go on about it at length.

3. Computers have gradually entered thousands of households. But the core component of the computer, the CPU, is still an American product. (This is just an example) If the Americans have a monopoly on this industry, they can raise prices at will, and they can use this to threaten or even sanction others.

If the nation wants to be prosperous and strong, the national industry must develop, and the national industry must occupy the market, we must advocate the purchase of domestic products. When buying imported products, we must also grasp the principle of "serving foreign goods for China's use". The purpose of using imported products is ultimately to develop our own products.

After our country joined the WTO last year, so many capitalist countries have proposed "anti-dumping" to us today and "anti-dumping" (actually not dumping) to us tomorrow. Why? Isn't it just to protect their own interests?

My fellow citizens. We are currently in a market economy, and you are free to buy imported products if you want. However, in order to develop our national industry, buying domestic products is indeed a patriotic act. Domestic, practical, and problem-solving. For products that can replace imported products, we should try our best to use domestic products.

People who reject foreign goods can naturally cite various reasons, such as the grievances and grievances between those countries that produce foreign goods and us, and their current conflicts of interest with our country. "Patriots" often say that if we buy foreign goods, if there is a war in the future, it will be equivalent to us providing money to make the bullets that kill us. This seems reasonable, but it cannot withstand scrutiny. If this logic applies, how can Chinese manufacturing go global? Could it be that when someone boycotts Chinese goods, you accuse them of violating the WTO agreement, which is a Cold War mentality, while if you boycott other countries' products, it is patriotism, and it is reasonable and legal?

According to consistent logic, I believe that the above remarks of the author must have been labeled as "traitors" by the "patriots" on the Internet, but I still want to say that when buying something, don't look at it as being made in China. It is still made in foreign countries, we only look at quality and cost-effectiveness. Today, when the entire world has become a big homogeneous market, one-sided support for so-called domestic products without analysis and quality is tantamount to the "local protectionism" that was prevalent everywhere back then. Those actions that seemed to "love hometown" have been proven to be foolish and detrimental to the development of the country and the local economy.

Similarly, buying domestic products is tantamount to patriotic behavior and will not help democratic industries. On the contrary, it may cause them to be spoiled to death!

It also reminds me of the word seclusion

Promoting the purchase of domestic products is conducive to economic development

1 First define three concepts: 1. Domestic products. Domestic products are tangible and intangible goods produced and owned by domestic enterprises. 2. Advocate. To advocate is to encourage and advocate. For consumers, it includes affirmation of the right to choose and active guidance of consumer behavior and awareness. For producers, advocacy is both support and encouragement. It is not a safe haven to escape competition, nor is it a fence that restricts development. wall. 3. Economic development. Economic development is the progress of productive forces, the improvement of economic structure and the enhancement of the independent position of the economy in the world economy. Secondly, let me explain two more issues: 1. The conditions for promoting the purchase of domestic products. Whether promoting the purchase of domestic products is beneficial to economic development cannot be separated from the specific development period of a specific country. For backward developing countries, when they are in the early stages of economic take-off and industrialization, promoting the purchase of domestic products is beneficial to their economic development. of. Furthermore, any country has industries and products that it must protect. Providing corresponding support to this industry is an inevitable requirement for the country's economic development. 2. The basis for advocating the purchase of domestic products is beneficial to economic development. There are three main reasons: first, from a micro perspective, it is conducive to the progress of enterprises; second, from a global perspective, it is conducive to the evolution of developing countries from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization; third, from my perspective, it is conducive to the development of independence in accordance with the National Day, An independent national economy. Here I advocate that buying domestic products is conducive to the progress of enterprises. First of all, it is because enterprises are the result of the simultaneous action of internal factors and external factors. An enterprise's own physical capabilities are the internal cause and foundation for enterprise progress, and the market is an indispensable condition for enterprise progress. Promoting the purchase of domestic products is conducive to forming this condition. Secondly, it is because enterprise progress is the result of the interaction between demand and production. Demand is the driving force of production. Without demand, enterprises cannot make progress. Promoting the purchase of domestic products is conducive to the formation of a dependence relationship between instrumentation and production, thereby providing a strong foundation and way for enterprise progress.

2 Promoting sufficient domestic products is conducive to economic development, and it is also because this is the only way for all developing countries to evolve from agriculture to industrial civilization. First, the starting point for developing countries to evolve towards industrial civilization is often lower than that of advanced developed countries. The separation of developing countries from agricultural civilization is often a process of moving from colonies and semi-colonies to independence and striving for self-reliance. There is no independent and self-reliant national industry. Even though these countries are no longer colonies of imperialist masters politically, they are economically , it is also difficult to escape the control and oppression of capitalist powers, and eventually becomes an economic colony. If developing countries want to develop their own national industries, the most basic condition is to promote the purchase of domestic products and protect their own markets. Second, there are qualitative differences between developing countries in their evolution towards industrial civilization and advanced developed countries. As developing countries evolve towards industrial civilization, they are always under pressure from developed countries and compete with powers that are dozens or even hundreds of times more powerful than themselves. Therefore, the evolution of developing countries towards industrial civilization is by no means spontaneous and natural. The process must be supported by the government and rely on the power of the state, and promoting the purchase of domestic products is a reflection of the power of the country and a measure supported by the government. Third, the era in which developing countries are evolving towards industrial civilization is different from the era of pioneer countries. Today's era is an era of high technology, an era in which the fourth wave of human civilization is surging. While developing countries are developing society and modern science and technology, they are also deeply aware of the importance of high-tech industries to their own survival and development. However, high-tech industries are often immature and weak industries in developing countries and are in urgent need of support and protection. This kind of support and protection cannot be bestowed by a powerful capitalist economy. It can only come from its own country, its own nation, and its own people. And advocating the purchase of domestic products embodies such a self-supporting and self-protecting spirit of independence. History makes people wise. Looking around the world, the history of developing countries that have succeeded on the road to industrial civilization tells us that backward countries that have evolved from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization advocate the purchase of domestic products, which is conducive to the formation of their national industrial system. , conducive to the development of its own economy.

(3) When analyzing issues, we must pay attention to national conditions. The main reason why we believe that promoting the purchase of domestic products is conducive to economic development is because it is in line with our national conditions. Our country is a big agricultural country, and it is Our country is in an important historical period of evolving towards modern industrial civilization. Our country is also a developing country. After more than 40 years of hard work, although it has initially established an independent, self-reliant and vibrant national economic system, it is still different from those of other countries. Compared with developed countries, our industrial base is still weak, and our country is a country that has been open to the outside world for less than 20 years. In the so-called fair international competition, we have to compete with those who have been on the road to industrial civilization for decades. Even with hundreds of years of national opposition, our country is indeed in a backward position. Our country is also a country with the largest market in the world. Some neo-colonial countries are taking advantage of their industrial and economic advantages. , always pressing our market, always trying to squeeze our country out of the competition. This is the historical position of our country today, this is today's national conditions, precisely because we are a big agricultural country, if we do not have our own stability market for agricultural products, then the foundation of the national economy will be shaken, and national development will be out of the question. Precisely because we are a developing country, high-tech industry, as the leading industry in the 21st century, is still an infant industry in our country. , like a child who has just learned to walk, shouldn’t we extend our hands for the sake of the Chinese nation in the 21st century? Shouldn't she be given the time and space she needs to grow? Precisely because we are a country open to the outside world, our enterprises continue to attract advanced foreign technology and equipment, so that the types and quality of our products are constantly enriched and improved. Many products and quality have reached or even exceeded the levels of developed countries. , however, we should also see that the funds used for economic construction in our country, especially foreign exchange, are still very privately owned. In this case, what reason do we have to not advocate buying our own products? Isn’t yesterday’s introduction just to produce more replaceable products today? And giving up the choice of one's own products, isn't it the denial of yesterday and the ruin of tomorrow? Just because our country is the country with the largest market in the world, we should clearly see that the system and essence of the market economy is competition, and competition is the fight for the market, and the largest occupier of the market is the winner of the competition. When we advocate the purchase of domestic products today, we are occupying the market for our national industry, promoting our economic development, and striving to build our country into an independent and self-reliant economic power.

(4) History is a mirror. Looking at the history of world economic development, whether it is a developed country whose economy has already taken off or a developing country whose economy is taking off and is about to take off, it is rare to not encourage Chinese people to buy domestic products. People must not be too bookish and take complex business wars too simply. We must seriously think about: What path should we take to develop our economy? What kind of economy do we want to develop? Since the birth of New China, the establishment of a complete, strong, independent and self-reliant national economy has always been the grand goal that all Chinese people dream of and work hard for. The four modernizations and the establishment and improvement of the socialist market economic system , opening up to the outside world, and adhering to reform are all to achieve this ambitious goal. If we want to build a complete and strong national economy, rather than a dependent economy that is dependent on others, and if we want to rise in international competition, rather than disappear in the competition, then we must have the foundation of modern national industry. When we buy domestic products, we are laying soil and laying stones for this foundation. And once we have a national industrial foundation, our country will be able to welcome the stormy waves of the Pacific Ocean and wash away the hot winds and cold rains of the Western Hemisphere! When our country opens up to the outside world and participates in international competition, it often encounters entanglements in international political struggles and faces various economic sanctions imposed by certain economic powers. If we do not have an independent and self-reliant national economy, if we do not have a national industry on which to base ourselves, then the long-term stability of our country and the economic development of our society will be extremely difficult, and we will also face the risk of being expelled from the world. Therefore, we must make our economy independent and self-reliant; therefore, we must give our country a solid foothold.

Our country has a history that has gone through many trials and tribulations, and our nation has the will to overcome the storms and hardships. Now, what we are about to face is the storm of economic competition, and even the hardships of economic war. The market is like a battlefield, and products are like swords and guns. Changhong people who are self-reliant and self-reliant have a good saying: those who win the consumers win the market, and those who win the market win the world. When we encourage Chinese people to buy domestic products, we call on the vast number of domestic consumers to know, understand, use and support domestic products and create a broad consumer market for domestic products. At the same time, we also encourage our domestic producers to produce more and better products. Better and more sophisticated domestic products meet the needs of the Chinese people.
