Hypocrite "Woke" oppress and exploit children

If you think about the economic model in China is almost a fascist system. They have large privately held companies that are beholden to the political party.

Tariff rejected.

"The company said in a statement: “We have doubled the oversight and monitoring of the internship program with each relevant partner school to ensure that, under no circumstances, will interns [be] allowed to work overtime or nights."

2 x 0 still equals 0.

"Alexa, will I be able to sleep or eat in the next 24 hours?"

"Shut the fuck up and get back to work making more of me or I'll alert your supervisor and they'll beat you like a red headed Chinese."

Totalitarian.

And those large companies aren't just beholden to the party- they're partly owned by the state.

The thing that people who complain about this don't always get, is that in a lot of cases, when some kid is sewing soccer balls for $1 a day in a mud hut, they're doing that because it's the only way they eat.

If you close down the factory, or move it elsewhere, congratulations, you just got the poor kid fired.

It's not like he's going to get the $1/day to laugh and frolic like a kid now, he's going to get stuck doing whatever was his second choice. Something he considered worse than the $1/day job.

It's exactly the same as any other minimum wage argument.

SJW: "OMG, nobody should have to work for less than $15/hour, pay a living wage"

Business owner: "If that's my only option, I will either replace them with automation, or close my doors"

Remember, any rule that says "a business must pay at least X" Is really saying "you can't take a job that pays leas than X"

There is some truth to this. Let's be clear: China is mostly a shithole. As such it cannot actually function using the same standard of human decency that we have in the west. We can afford to have OSHA and environmental laws because we have enough wealth and productivity to do it. But when your economy largely sucks, the population isn't as educated, the infrastructure sucks, etc. the overhead added by labor laws and treating people reasonably is prohibitive.

Communism 101
We did this too back in the 1800s.
In the U.S. our standard of living is so high even our poor weigh in around 300 lbs., have a 55" tv, free cell phone, free medical, free housing, free food, free etc..
To a backward country (politically) this is what you get.

Here, we have the opposite. Political parties are beholden to ( and at least partially owned by) the large companies.
