Does not look like, that management of western companies would share your opinion. Latest and notable example (I am robotics enthusiast): https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/13/20962688/adidas-robotic-... Just to save few pennies factories are relocated to Asia. I barely possess things not made in China.

The goals of the private sector sometimes don't align with the goals of human freedom. But we can nudge the private sector in a better direction.
Consider tariffs on Chinese goods. There are other countries in Asia that could serve as manufacturing bases for international companies which are not led by brutal dictatorships and better align with Western ideals. Tariffs can be effective in convincing companies to move out of China into these other more appropriate countries.
