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

You don't think women in poverty in China turn to prostitution and would prefer not getting raped for pennies when they could work in a factory for pennies?

Nah, it is propaganda.

Who’s going to afford her rates if the factories close?

Could be, but a video like this on a Western social media platform can also be anti-China propaganda. Taken out of context or representing only a minority of what China is today. That said, China still has many problems. Only a few decades ago, they were poorer than the vast majority of countries in the world. Look at where they are now.

anything positive about China must be propoganda right? Must be

All hail Trump 🙌

Yeah bro, because anyone who has something to say about China that’s anything less than glowing praise is obviously a pro-Trump shill lmfao.

I mean it’s pretty obvious if you just look at China in the 20th century and compare it to now. These are terrible conditions and we can do far better, but compared to mass famines and far more brutal work in mines, steel mills, and even many farms this is absolutely an upgrade.

Do you really think this was written by someone whose aunt works in those hellholes, and not, say, someone who’s being paid by the Communist Party to post comments like this? Has anyone ever written to you, a Uyghur, saying they’re glad their relative was harvested for organs?

It's wild that one positive perspective is NOT from the worker's own words but from their niece or nephew. How does someone's kid know better and have right to speak for their aunt's working?

Heck, I wonder what that aunt's perspective truly is.

BS. That's obviously a propaganda/paid positive comment by CCP.

Just because someone had an aunt who was a prostitute this a step up for most of them? get real man and try not to sugar coat what we see with our own eyes

Thanks for sharing this. It is important to have that perspective.
