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

    The party trying to roll back child labour laws in their own countries and only mention labour abuse in other countries as a gotcha. Then there are libs that argue the case for immigrants because they do work tantamount to slave labor that is vital in the economy. These games are boring
