As a furriner (Brit) with a Chinese wife the awesome self-absorbed tone deafness here is a sight to behold. Because you know, furriers aren't really people you know, so they just don't count in any rational moral equation. Even for a company with tens of thousands of non-American employees. What right have they got to expect reasonable or fair treatment? Thanks.
The way to respond to bad comments or misinformation is patiently and with correct information, delivered respectfully. That's hard to do when provoked, I know, but if you can't or don't want to do it, it's probably better not to post. Lashing back doesn't help.
What does your nationality or your wife have to do with this? The Brits have an illustrious history of treating Chinese people well. Or all 'furriners' for that matter. But mocking Americans is much more fun than paying attention to any of that.
Not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but you might have forgotten about the Opium Wars where no sides treated each other well, the Brits included.
Do you actually have any real point to make about the substance of my comment?
Accusing someone of having no interest above self interest, simply because they employ people in another country, is utterly morally bankrupt. Discuss.
In my opinion, the real choice isn't between producing in China and producing in America. It is between China and countries like India or Brazil. If India is a democracy, has better labor laws than China, has more respect for free speech, then moving production to India is less likely to have negative externalities than China.
That's how it happened in the west, too, no? Textile mills? I'm not saying anything about morality but it sounds standard to me.
