China is kicking our ass in just about everything. Why shouldn't he talk about it, a lot?
Sure. Including human rights violations. If we got rid of the minimum wage, got rid of unions, healthcare and started paying everyone less than a dollar an hour our economy would be booming also.
They lock people in at these factories, build dormitories(basically jails) to house the laborers and there is no escape. People were committing suicide to get away. So they installed suicide nets at the dorms so they couldn't even kill themselves. This is pretty horrible shit.
I'm fine with China's tactics staying over there, thank you very much Mr. Trump.
Because China is able to do this for the same reasons we were for a while: unfettered exploitation of vast resources, a ready source of impoverished millions willing to nearly kill themselves for a better (material) life, and environmental crimes. Worse than we did, in fact, since we were largely ignorant of the consequences of some of our early practices. But China goes full-steam ahead completely ignoring the lessons of nations who went before, has the benefit of trillions of dollars in gifted or stolen technology it did not develop.China is kicking our ass in just about everything.
