A few weeks ago we had a thread where people were talking about how they refused to buy Chinese goods/goods made by Chinese workers because they disapprove of the PRC.
The following real life incident inspired this thread:
I was having a conversation with this colleague of mine (originally from a small Caribbean nation) who said he travelled the world extensively. Before arriving in Hong Kong, he's lived in a lots of different places including France.
Then he brings up that he refuses to travel to the United States EVER.
I was confused. He explained:
"I don't approve of American foreign policy. For this reason, the USA is a country I never visit. Other countries on this list include Russia, mainland China, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and parts of Africa. There could be other countries. I also don't like the UAE but I have to stop in Dubai to change flights often."
I was shocked.
Please discuss whether or not you personally maintain a list of countries you absolutely refuse to visit because you disagree very very strongly with the country's domestic or foreign policies.
Do you refuse to visit any countries for other reasons (such as perceived safety)?
