Boycott Carrefour

Several days earlier, my classmate forwarded a message on the MSN to call for the boycott of French products and in particular, the French supermarket chain Carrefour on May 1.

And just one day later, another message saying that Carrefour will strike back by launching a promotion activity is also circulating. And many people warned that “Do not succumb to the lure of low prices and sell our souls and our pride!”

Well, there is a big Carrefour nearby where I am now living. And sometimes, I will go shopping there. And because of the internet call, I will not go to Carrefour on May 1. Although I am a sane person and I know that boycotting Carrefour will hurt our Chinese people in some extent, which Chinese people know clearly. But, I am sure that May 1 will be a hard day for Carrefour, definitely!
