    China doesn’t have the worker protections that the US has, the same level of gov’t support, nor the environmental rules that the US has. It’s only anti-competitive if there is a level playing field.

      Yeah weve got protections, like minimum off time for sleep…wait no. Maternity leave? Nah. Well our child workers get protected meal breaks at least. But not the adults. Water breaks or temperature limits? Still no. US doesnt have damn worker protections.

        You got 3 downvotes and no replies, so I’m replying to let you know you’re speaking the truth. People are butthurt that the US isn’t as good as it could be.

          Naw, it’s just both sides whatism bullshit. If anyone thinks as bad as things are in the US (and they are shitty), that workers are treated better in China, well they are higher than I am and don’t deserve a response.

            Its a combination of being unaware of how bad things are in the US, and having nothing but stereotypes to inform how you think Chinese labor is. Guess who has mandated maternity leave and who doesnt. Or paid sick leave. Or laws tying minimum wage to cost of living.

      And the government just realized this now and are going to make it clear it isn’t okay by fucking up any export out of China that has the word green in it.

      Nothing to do with oil money folks, just China got caught red handed and we just weren’t looking before. Yes, you can still keep your iPhone but fuck your solar panels and any car that doesn’t crave gasoline.
