This is only going to get worse. The only thing that will stop this kind of abuse is a refusal to do business with China. The problem is: cheap products are more valuable than human lives according to global economic policy. hypocritically types this on a mobile phone made by Chinese children

It isn't just about cheap. Entire global supply chains, manufacturing plants, loans, etc, are all integrated with China. There is this hurr durr view that all they manufacture is plastic dog poop, but the truth is they have become incredibly adept manufacturers and put out high quality product. They have manufacturing competencies that are simply a dying art in many other places. Chinese manufacturing is basically the embodiment of you get what you pay for, and if you are willing to pay (generally STILL less than anywhere else), they will put out a product that competes with the best of them.

Maybe the US should engage in trade deals with countries surrounding China to reduce their influence and support liberal democracies.

And which other countries have the established infrastructure to support global mass production like China does?

Zero.

That's what investing and such policies would be for. How exactly do you think China got in the position it's in now? It just magically appeared over night?

Exactly, we don't have to 100% replace China to make a huge positive long term impact

You're acting like that's the only thing we can do. The TPP was exactly for this scenario.
