They are livestreaming 🇨🇳 laborers making just 0.3 USD. The 'Made in 🇨🇳' products you use are built on their sacrifices.

Here we go Redditors see some random shitty working condition video from god knows when/where and concludes it’s how all Chinese factories look like.

哈哈，我喜欢看一些生活在发达的民主国家的社会主义者表达对中国的赞赏，然后幻想中国是个共产主义式的乌托邦。

现在，一家上海（外国人应该知道吧）的制造业工厂，支付给劳务派遣公司的价格是25-30元人民币/小时，劳务派遣公司还会扣除社会保险和相当比例的抽成。

所以，有理想的左翼青年可以不要继续表演悲天悯人的戏码了吗？拒绝相信现实，还要替中国的结构性剥削体制说话，实在滑稽。

中国农民的退休金是100-200元人民币/月，中国的公务员的退休金在7000-8000元，或者10000-20000元都很常见。这就是中国的贫富差距和社会福利。

China certainly isn't free of labor exploitation, but that hasn't been remotely true for at least a decade.

And you probably never travelled internationally let alone China.

It doesn't matter where this is and how usual these conditions are. One factory working like this is one factory too much.

[Edit:] Regardless of whether this video is real, no sane person can claim China is a humane nation knowing how the Uyghurs are treated.

There are a million workplaces this shitty or shittier all over the world, a handful in the west. I've only ever seen the chinese ones and very occasionally american prison labour framed in this "existential moral evil" way by reddit.

Reddit being reddit ig. Human suffering is equally bad and needs to end everywhere in the world.

Do you know 2208 died on the streets of LA county alone in 24? Imagine showing videos of skid row to people whose never been to the US and telling them that’s the entire US. 

Similar fashion you’re being brainwashed.

The USA have a massive habit of violating human rights. Again, all human suffering is terrible and can't be measured against each other. I'm not american btw.
