basically zero labor laws

You have no idea what you’re talking about, like at all. Even shitty Wikipedia says they do.

Their labor conditions are significantly worse than modern American work conditions let's not kid ourselves. Although this never bothers people when it comes to goods made in Mexico.

Yes, let's try to pick apart the one hyperbolic statement he made and completely ignore all of his other valid points. Let's also link a very biased article about Wikipedia that has absolutely nothing to do with anything as some sort of proof that China is some bastion for workers rights. It's not like they literally force people into labor camps simply for being minorities or anything.

The US is far from perfect but let's not pretend they somehow have worse labor rights than freaking China.
