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.
In farming and small business’s it’s very common to see kids working in the us
According to a couple news stories I've seen pop up from time to time, we have child labor in the US too. It's not legal and the children are usually the children of illegal immigrants. Maybe it's sort of the same deal over there i.e. desperate people doing desperate things despite the norm.
Yes, this is not something exclusive of China, or the US, basically everywhere, except maybe some countries in Europe, still have some kind of child labor in a lesser or greater degree. I don't think China is the worst place on that respect, but blinding believing to someone who lives in a big metropolitan Chinese city that child labor dosen't exists is pretty dumb.
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
As a parent, I would prefer this to modern western environments for children that include TVs, video games, phones and no idea what I do for a profession.
