What's wrong with child labor and "sweat shops"? Yeah, that's what Nike and Colin Kaepernick say. How dare you speak bad about China and their ways. Leave them alone. The U.S. is evil and abusive and racists.

Marie Antoinette's famous line, "Let them eat cake!"
Every vote for a Democrat is a vote for globalism, which supports sweatshops and child labor. As usual, Democrats are on the wrong side of human decency.
Sure about that, for instance, NAFTA:
The agreement's supporters included 132 Republicans and 102 Democrats. The bill passed the Senate on November 20, 1993, 61–38. Senate supporters were 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats.
"I would argue Americans Across the Isle and politics like low prices and do not care why they are low. They complain indirectly but still buy. And when they do get mad they blame each other and not the politicians we pay off, and we pay off everyone across all isles."

not a real quote, but I imagine this was the discussion at the time and even now.
Marie Antoinette's famous line, "Let them eat cake!"
A quote mistakenly attributed to her. She never said those words.
You repeating it in your thread, seemingly designed to justify your support of exploiting third world child labor, is giving the opposite affect of what you're going for, in any event.
Tar-zhay or Wally World, which is your favorite source for third-world plastic junque? You seem like you might be a Tar-zhay shopper.

The children in developing countries don't have free cakes to eat or schools to go to.
If they don't work, they would live on the street, sell themselves into prostitution or die.
The construct of childhood has always been a huge variable all over the world and has evolved in the US, over time.
For most of history, most children were expected to work and contribute to the family. Female children were and continue to be considered marriageable upon the onset of puberty in many parts of the world. Fathers typically sold/ sell their female offspring to pay debts.
For most of US history, 80% of the population was engaged in agriculture to create a 20% surplus sufficient to feed others, not so engaged. It was common for children to do their share of work to ensure the survival of the family.
Then came the Industrial Revolution and the transition to manufacturing.
In the US, at the turn of the 20th century, males typically worked 12 hour shifts, 6 days a week in factories and children were used as the cheapest source of labor. Agriculture increasingly relied on using immigrants from south of the border. Unions and labor laws evolved over time.
To this day, one can observe immigrant children working in fields at harvest time in Big Ag states.
We can probably thank a 9 year old in Bangladesh for that $6.99 shirt bought on sale with a coupon at Kohls.
Applying the wholesale lifestyle standards of the west to impoverished areas of the world makes no sense.
China used to be viewed as the go to source for cheap labor. Over time, the standard of living increased and other countries began competing. India, Bangladesh and Vietnam are increasingly dominating in textile, clothing shoe, jewelry manufacture. And child labor persists.

It wasn't long ago they were the ones boycotting sweat shops. How things have changed. They fell in love with i-phones, disposable furniture and cheap clothes from guatemala. They don't care who makes the stuff or who suffers for it they just want it.
My liberal friends back when were for human rights and against rampant consumerism, corruption and big monopoly corporations. They also thought porn exploited women and child labor exploited children. Now you have some leftists excusing pedophelia. So what's a little sweatshop slavery in the whole scheme of things.
Child labour is damaging to a child’s physical, social, mental, psychological and spiritual development because it is work performed at too early an age. Child labour deprives children of their childhood and their dignity. They are deprived of an education and may be separated from their families.
We are all descendants of child laborers and 9-10 year old mothers.
It was and, in parts of the world, remains necessary to survival of the family and children.
