@dang - the title in editorialized and misleading. The actual title is: "Korean auto giant Hyundai investigating child labor in its U.S. supply chain"

The article only mentions Korean owned suppliers operating in the US, some directly controlled by Hyundai, which were investigated by Alabama's state Department of Labor, in coordination with federal agencies.

Please contact hn@ycombinator.com for Dan and co. As far as I can tell, they haven't even suspended these suppliers yet.

I think this is a relevant observation, given that it changes the emotive thrust of the headline from "foreign country has better standards than our country!" to "our country has good standards that ensure foreign investors don't end up employing child labor".

I've read the article. And honestly the thing I've read is that it's possible for a company to do child labor in the US. And that this actually happens.

No comparing, no who is better, just the blunt reality of child labor in the US

> And honestly the thing I've read is that it's possible for a company to do child labor in the US. And that this actually happens.

You are missing the part where the foreign owned company is caught by the police and investigated by the authorities, and then the crime is reported by the media.

This is exactly what you'd expect in a country where child labor is not accepted.

It's not honest to omit this part. Indeed it's a deliberate deception.
