Is it morally wrong to buy steak when you know that your money is perpetuating animal cruelty and murder?

I think 99.9% of people would answer yes to that question. It is wrong to spend your money on steak when you know it's bought from factory farms that torture and mistreat cows.<br><br>Now consider the following:<br><br><br>The 15th ranked economy in the world is Taiwan. They produce a significant amount of the technology you use. According to the UN, China is committing genocide based on religion against the Uyghur minority. China also put millions of Hong Kong citizens under martial law, violating international law in that process, and are committing widespread acts of state terrorism against Taiwanese citizens. China also engages in forced labor, arbitrary mass detentions, torture, forced sterilization and forced marriage. <br><br><br>However, Taiwan cannot afford to let this affect their economy. They still accept Chinese citizens. and they still do business with them. However, the Taiwanese people seem to hate the mainland Chinese government and its actions, but they have no way to end their business with China without their economy being harmed. <br><br><br>Is it morally wrong to spend your money on Taiwanese technology when you know that 40% of the money goes to China, who use it to commit genocide and heinous crimes? Should we contribute money to Taiwan to help them fund and protect 15 million people who are under threat of being conquered and assimilated by China, and accept the fact that we now have 40% responsibility for potentially funding China's terrorist activities?<br><br><br>Is this a classic prisoner's dilemma?
