Some people believe as long as the US underpays prisoners convicted of crimes, the CCP gets carte blanche to imprison a million people because of their religion, and force them into labor camps.
Or did I misread this entire thread?
And making companies like Apple legally responsible for their supply chain labor will do nothing to stem the flurry of actual slave labor camps seemingly sprouting up all over China.
Chinese companies will continue to use the free labor and compete on an uneven global playing field, so long as the CCP sees a benefit.
Yes. In fact most of the people you've responded to very explicitly said the exact opposite of what you've interpreted.
We seem to have read different threads apparently...
Sure thing. The most recent comment in this thread not made by one of us was by quicklime, and ended with this line:
> [The lack of open discourse about America's prison slavery problem] doesn't excuse China for the things they are doing wrong.
The one immediately prior to that was by mike_h and started with this:
> I doubt anyone in this thread is arguing that forced labor would be ok anywhere.
I'm not sure how you read either of those statements and extracted "the CCP gets carte blanche to imprison a million people because of their religion, and force them into labor camps".
> As long as companies Apple are not legally responsible for their supply chain in front of developed countries’ courts nothing will change.
Of course Americans can and should decry Chinese slave labour camps, but you've just finished explaining why the American slave labour issue is a lot easier to address and deal with, so if they can't get that one sorted out I don't have high hopes for their chances of enforcing legal responsibility when dealing with China.
