Like the sister comment, if not in US then in other countries.

US rightfully placed a bunch of labor/environmental regulations around manufacturing which moved to China but stupidly didn't place restrictions on goods manufactured with severe labor and environmental violations.

We are repeating the mistake again.

The 'US' isn't a monolithic thing. US market leaders convinced US politicians to open US markets to China, and the lack of labor and environmental regulations was a feature, not a bug in the plan.

Yeah, we all know that.

Who voted for the politicians? Who clamored for cheaper goods and fell for the lies?
