fake news loving covering how savage china is. all good china is savage but we got similar behavior within US.
people should be aware that this labour abuses is not regime specific, in fact it appears to be regime agnostic. i wonder why?
USA is trying to rid itself of corruption and slavery, China is actively promoting it. Context matters.
That's why the states are reintroducing legal child labour....
That's why slaughterhouse and meat packing plants in the heartland are stuffed by people from the border.... And sometimes their children...
Sure buddy 🤡
The US isn't some homogenous entity where all decisions are unanimous and everybody agreed to child labour. The government has little say in what people who are allowed in to freely travel decide to do, and sometimes those people decide to do bad things.
I'm not defending the entirety of the US here, I'm just agreeing with @[email protected] that in this case, it is whataboutism because you are attacking the US instead of defending China.
According to wikipedia
Why would I defend China?
Both are wrong... I don't like people acting this shit only happens in China so I am keeping the record straight that US in fact uses slave labour also.
That's, in my opinion, a way better attidude. Let's not scream whatabaoutism, but gracefully point out the issues in (y)our own country too.
