Why would anybody that values human freedom go to (and spend money in) a place so oppressive?  It is bad enough dealing with western PC culture.  But, in the west its just people bitching and whining.  In some eastern and middle eastern places government enforces ridiculous social conservative, and ridiculous ultra-left economic BS at the point of a gun.  Fuck those places.  Don't put your stamp of approval on them by vacationing there.  

By going to the US, UK, France, Germany, Canada etc, I indirectly fund their militaries which have killed a lot of innocents in my country and the neighbours of my country. And my funds contribute in that in some way, shape or form. If I was looking at things this way, I by principle should not go to these countries and they include Saudi Arabia which funds terrorists as well. And for me it is morally more acceptable to go to China than to the US. But then what about my own country? We have to face it that if we start thinking that way, almost all countries are doing shitty things somewhere in the world. Just because you can't see it and create an image of innocence, like Canada, doesn't mean it doesn't exist

I agree with most of that.  But, because the evils done by different countries very, the ways to avoid putting your stamp on those evils also vary.  In the US, a tourist should not go on tours of military vessels, visit war memorials, try to avoid paying taxes to the federal government (which is easy for tourists), etc.  In China, one should not even enter their ridiculous surveillance state.  By doing so, you're consenting to it.
