There was a joke on an Aussie comedy show the other night about Temu amd China using Child labour and stealing your data and I had to laugh considering the West was outright caught using Child slaves for chocolate (Nestlé)
How true is the claim that China does it too?
Even if they do, it's still hypocritical for the West to focus on it without addressing that the West used child labour.
By the way the ruling class in the west is trying get rid of child labour laws. Isn't capitalism great? Send the kiddies back to the mines! Who needs a childhood?
Also as for stealing data? Bruh China doesn't need to steal it, they can just buy it from all the US corporations stealing and selling your data.
My guess is it must be happening to an extent considering the difficulty in enforcing labour codes in a country of 2bil people. But there’s no evidence of systemic use of child labour the way it used to occur in, say, Victorian England.
