In what way is it "slave" labor?
perhaps hyperbolic, but when the workers are building iphones
and jumping to their deaths
where they put up nets
id say we are getting close
Except they choose to work
said every slave owner
dont do business in china
They should be treated humanely of course but the difference between a slave and a worker it was his will not something caused by force
Okay, so take away the jobs they have currently. Now they have 0 income
are there no poor people in EU?
that will work for very low
like E. Europe countries
or do we just say fuck them
Wait, is your solution to just shift the same working conditions to Europe?
no
im sayiing that poor europeans prolly want jobs
and im saying you are selfish for giving them to the chinese
that's a chinese problem not mine
and yes
Do they matter less than Europeans?
I don't live in Europe either
im not saying that
im just saying that if I was in the EU
id take care of EU ppls first
EU has labour laws. Minimum wage
for all countries?
It will always cost considerably more
Are you seriously arguing that China couldn't produce for its own domestic consumption if the US export market dries up?
not me
I think Beemann is.
Cost of living is also higher
I'm saying China would not produce as much as it does for domestic usage
and we need not be melodramatic. The avg Russian makes less than the Avg Chinese person
Which means you're cutting down on jobs
Russia isn't EU
neither is China
And as far as I'm aware every EU nation has min wage
