    So to clarify, should I feel guilty about buying the slave labor products on temu? Or are they not actually slave labor. Is child slave labor not really an issue? Deprogram me a bit here.

          There are probably isolated incidents, but nothing on the scale of a systemic issue. Child labor isn’t particularly effective to begin with.

          No, there aren’t, not credible ones, anyway. i’m sure there are Radio Free Asia pieces quoting “anonymous sources,” because that’s all they do, because RFA’s whole job is to spin anti-China slop, because they’e a component of the US military-propaganda-industrial complex.

          There are documented cases of child labor and slave labor in the US, especially in the agricultural system. The prison system in the US is a system of forced slave labor. Over 4 million kids are laboring in the US. The hatred of China is pure projection. Are either of these societies perfect? No, is China particularly bad or worse than the US, definitely not. The US and the western nations in general fuel slavery and child labor world wide in their capitalist empires.

              That whataboutism tells you everything you need to know about your sealioning. You live in a slave driving, child raping system and you are projecting your propagandized and racist understanding on others with your bad faith line of questions. USians and Europeans are by far the most evil people on earth and you have no right to cast stones in a glass house.
