    I was referring to countries such as Bangladesh, the Philippines, Vietnam, and so on. The vast majority of sweatshops in China died out in the early 2000s. They have been outsourced to poorer counties.

      I was aware that sweatshops in China are basically gone, but I was concerned that there was some left over when you said that.

        There are a decent number, but they usually employ easily exploitable immigrants and operate illegally. It’d be impossible to eradicate them entirely, but China as made amazing strides in the past 20 years. Sweatshops on the scale of the 70s and 80s are a thing of the past.

          I’m aware and still in awe of China’s great strides over the past few decades.

          You have a source for this? This will certainly help me if someday a chud/liberal makes a claim about sweathshops in China
