Exporting our labor to another country with a lower COL is not the same as using actual slave labor of their own people. Let's not try and equate the two please. One is shitty, the other is a massive humanitarian rights issue.

I mean, we do the latter, too. That's what prison labor is.

Not anywhere near the level that china is using it.

American companies literally use the same Chinese slave labour. Example: workers jump off the roof of Apple's Foxconn plant. Sorry, I guess Apple is technically an Irish company?

Mate, it's America, humanitarian rights issues is what the nation excels at.
