So, John, Lan, and anyone else, what is the answer to competing with manufacturing markets that basically have forced and child labor?
Very simple- require any company selling a product in US markets to follow US employment, work safety, environmental, etc laws regaurdless of physical location of manufacture in order to sell in the US. Punishment for breaking this is 10 times the gross revenue for the lifetime of the product, and life in jail for the CEO. I garuntee you it would work- the consequences of not following it would outweigh the risks.
It would also tank our economy, and raise consumer prices by at least 100%. The question is: how much are our values worth to us? The unfortunate answer is that they aren't worth much, look at how well Nike still does.
