Do sweatshops actually exist in china? I know about the stereotypes of Chinese children making the stuff all Americans own but is it actually real or just more American propaganda?

    i think the term sweatshop is pretty relative. it basically means a western corporation demanding high prices for luxury goods but using developing country labour recruitment and practices, usually by “outsourcing”.

    if you work in a bangladeshi sewery and your product ends up on the bangladeshi markets, the circumstances may resemble that of a sweatshop, but the exploitation is relative to the labour relationship rather than the difference in pricing.
