I didn't think child labor still existed in China, just harsh labor conditions and low pay.
China's government's strict control of the media did, however, lead to me not questioning the social credit score thing.
Pretty naive to think that child labor dosen't exists in China tbh. Maybe not at the scale of child factory workers that some western media like to depict, but at a smaller scale, in farming, family owned business and small isolated factories.
China is fucking rich dude.
So is the US, and we still have farms, small businesses, and small factories
Missing the "child labor" reference on your comment makes it very funny.
I mean, the US has that too. My point is that a nation being rich really doesn't prevent having those businesses or using them for child labor at all.
I got it, but it's sounds like the US have small (in size) businesses and factories, not that small business and factories use child labor.
Both are true. What's your point?
I think it should be "and we still have child labor in farms, small businesses..."
Without the "child labor in" the comment sounds funny to me.
Ok
