If you look, you can find imported products from countries like India and Mexico, that are at least nominally democracies.

I firmly believe that the USA should institute a stiff tariff on imports from environmental and worker safety "scofflaw countries."

You are right - I find products from the countries you mentioned in WalMart/Sam's Club as well as the other stores I noted -

No, it's peoples willingness to buy products that come from Third world hellholes that's the problem.

I have no doubt that products made by slave labor in the old South, and in Nazi Germany, also sold for excellent prices.

Default Alternative names for the "Freedom Tower"

Since they took a tenant from the "Peoples Republic" of murder, slave masters, and eco-destruction...and they're using all Chinese made glass in the thing, perhaps we need a new name.

* Slavery and Forced Abortion Central

* Mao's Little Red Office Building

* Bye Bye American Jobs Trade Center
