Why is it "a wild standard"? We're taking workers rights. China is a big, wealthy developed country, why would we not expect from it at least good labour laws? The worker exploitation is not admirable. And I detest anyone who says otherwise.
So why aren't you more bothered by the worse actor that's been the hegomonic superpower for the past 80ish years?
