Exactly. Our "prosperity" largely comes from the expliotation of third world labor (often children and sometimes even political prisoners.)
It is only sustainable as long as that disparity can be maintained.
I am sorry but this is not true. First, US prosperity did not begin with China. In the 50s, just about everything was made here and we were still the richest country on earth. Second, how are you helping third world workers by closing down their export factories? Are Cuban people better off because there are no factories exporting to the US? Sadly, it is either export jobs or nothing. The choice is easy for them.
