China isn't my enemy, but corporations lobbying trade agreements to outsource jobs/production there at the expense of other nations' citizens are. The Chinese government has to take advantage of Chinese workers (via slave wages + poor working conditions) in order to create those 'unbeatable prices' to out-compete other nations (with better working conditions and worker's rights). It is not *kind* to the Chinese to reward China in this way. It's only kind to the billionaires and governments. Outcome: reasonable wages and worker protections are punished globally and made economically 'unsustainable' compared to the opposite. Ironically, they absolutely would be sustainable if our economy was more self-isolated and NOT needing to compete with China's low wages.
