          Every car manufacturer receives massive subsidies no matter where they are located.

          This is oil money, nothing more, nothing less.

        You might want to look at some of the loosening child labor laws here in the US. Hyundai’s plants have been caught several times using child labor.

        I’m not defending China’s practices by any means because many are truly horrific but the US is pretty far from perfect in many states.

        What child labor? There are no kids in China, they have some of the lowest fertility in the world and the most intense school hours for the rest

        You’re like 40 years out of date

      I’m not working in the conditions the Chinese have decided is ok. They can be poor and live in barracks at factories, I like free time and money.
