With all due respect to Jen, I see people living, loving their family, trying to make a living, regardless of the country as just people. People in China, due to propaganda, may see us the same way, but you, me, Jen are just people, not enemies either. I don’t condemn the people of any nation because they were born there. Many Chinese and Russians despise their country but are forced into silence or jailed or worse. As far as I am concerned, People can shop or not shop wherever they want and I respect that.

That said, since the vast majority of items we for our households come from China, and I use AliExpress to buy jerseys, cycling gloves, shoe covers, cadence, speed and heart rate sensors which are compatible with my Garmin devices. I would not buy any item from them which could possibly fail and jeopardize my safety, like carbon fiber seat posts, cranks, and especially handlebars.

If we go to war, then no more AliExpress.
