From what I've seen this seems to be the main talking point American chuds have landed on to defend the tariffs and to dunk on other Americans who are upset about no longer being able to buy shit on Temu, etc

It's pretty rich to accuse other countries of using slave labour for Burgerlanders in general but doubly rich for Republicans to pretend to give a shit about labour laws, working conditions, etc

It's also interesting how widespread the idea of Chinese slave labour is in the West and to contrast it with how Japan and Korea's awful work cultures get treated

China = the totalitarian communist government forces the entire country into slavery

Japan and Korea = those Asians just love working really hard or something

How do I know China uses slave labor? The richest people in the world that have lied to me about everything told me so.

After the "China is genociding Muslims for no reason" debacle that the liberals made up you would think people would be more skeptical of anti-China rhetoric, but Chinese people are also Asian, so I guess you can just make up anything and it counts as indisputable reality.
