    America uses slave labour too. At every opportunity they’ve paid minimum wage and when workers started unionising, they started outsourcing to places they could get away with employing people for less than minimum wage. This is all well documented, just for some reason it’s fine when America does it.

      Exporting our labor to another country with a lower COL is not the same as using actual slave labor of their own people. Let’s not try and equate the two please. One is shitty, the other is a massive humanitarian rights issue.

        I mean, we do the latter, too. That’s what prison labor is.

        American companies literally use the same Chinese slave labour. Example: workers jump off the roof of Apple’s Foxconn plant. Sorry, I guess Apple is technically an Irish company?
