A lot of manufacturing buisinesses have their prices undercut by Chinese importers who are willing to use essentially slave labor to monopolize a given market.

It is hardly slave labour. It is actually well paid labour that creates a new middle class for the nation. What we call sweat shops they call opportunity.

I'd encourage you to ask some actually Chinese people about this. You seem to believe a lot of stuff that I'd consider Chinese communist propaganda which is rampant in the US.

Propaganda all kinds runs rampant in the US. Too many sheeple with mushy brains too busy watching the Kardashian’s. Nothing but bobble heads all over the place

Coercive psychiatric propaganda is at least indirectly related to this.

Yes, and they love it. In some places opening those factories ends starvation. It vastly improves their standard of living.

Is that why they need to install nets to prevent suicides from people jumping off the top of the buildings? They love it so much they want to die at work!

You try living under and authoritarian communist government. It isn't having a job that makes people want to kill themselves. Tall buildings are just one place they choose.

Tall buildings like the Foxconn factories where they work like slaves assembling iphones and trinkets. I thought they loved it? Which is it? They = foxconn, suicides = foxconn workers

Well paid workers are not slaves. They not be well paid by our standards, but they are by their standards. That is why manufactoring labour moves there.

People forget how much worse the conditions were before manufacturing jobs became available there. It's hard for westerners to understand.

The only thing capitalists do is brutally exploit people and the environment. The only reason they're in other countries is to brutally exploit them and their environment more.

Exploitation is more often then not a mutual thing. It is absurd to call it brutal. In this case it increased their standard of living, and working considtions.

Damn, spoken like a true limousine lefty. "Slaves should be thankful for their masters! After all, they were starving before the benevolent plantation owners found them, saved them!"
