      Americans are so ignorant and easily propagandized. They actually believe this happens in China. The minimum wage in China is equivalent to $21 US. And there is 96% homeownership in China. Meanwhile, in the US we have both poverty wages and prison slave labor, that accounts as the 3rd largest “employed” group in the country.

      @@christianlarson7259 that is such a ridiculous statement. You are basically saying that since all industry has its problems, it's okay for this industry to be the worst. The real issue is capitalism, but no one is capitalizing on American consumerism quite like China is. They are basically exploiting the entire human race all at once. Temu and Shein contribute more waste and pollution than any other fast fashion brands, they are clearly using forced labor and not really trying to hide it, and the Temu app does more datamining than any other app on the market place. Not to mention that the CCP is the primary stake holder in every Chinese company by default, meaning that the Chinese government owns every Chinese company. So, Temu is using slave labor to cut costs, those lower costs allow them to undermine an American law that says any shipment of goods from other countries has to be inspected by customs unless its under a certain amount. This lets them bypass all sorts of taxes and other import laws. Then the app (which is number 1 in the app store, or at least it was for a looong time) is literally spy ware. So, yeah, these brands are not the same as just buying clothing in general.

      @@christianlarson7259 it's not as simple as saying don't buy anything made in China. Many luxury brands manufacture large volumes of their product in China. Some of the factories are incredibly high tech and put the slave labour and poor working standards that still very much exist in Italy, Romania, Turkey and Poland to shame. but you're right, if we don't spend, it doesn't sell, they stop making it but it applies to everything. The real question is why we fell so many new things all the time, decent fabrics will last a very long time. If you look after a jacket it should see 20-yrs or more. we don't need 10 of everything in every colour every month.

      While I don't know about Temu, there are Chinese clothes sellers on Amazon that will basically say "keep it" if you return an item, because the clothes aren't worth the price of return shipping.
      I've also had them try and negotiate a partial refund instead of a full refund when they do this. Which is understandable, they don't want the item back, but they did invest a dollar or two in making the clothes.

    • @InvisibleRen
      @InvisibleRen Před 14 dny

      Idk about Walmart and Target but I am so disillusioned now seeing that once popular mall and dept. store brands like Forever 21, Kohls, etc plus prestige fast fashion brands like Anthropologie and Zara are now making clothes that are the exact same quality. Amazon sells literally the same stuff as these sites with a 2-5x markup too. It’s wild. Like seriously, there’s no way for people living under the poverty threshold in the West to win. Buying secondhand helps, but a lot of apps are flooded with stuff from these brands Chinese e-commerce sites or the overpriced brands selling the same quality if you want something stylish. Frankly, they’re selling the same stuff that’s sold on TaoBao (Chinese e-commerce site for Chinese people equivalent of Amazon) for equivalent prices. Not even dupes, literally the same items. If I have to spend three or four times as much to get a significant improvement in quality, and I cannot afford that, then I’ll pick the lesser of two evils while ensuring I can still pay my bills and take care of my mental health. The best thing to do is not fall into overconsumption, don’t purchase things that are clearly handmade, and buy sustainably and ethically where you can.

And the clients from those corps force me to work extra hours, with Seattle timezone, like 9pm-1am in my timezone. After that project, i got stomache and galbladder issue. While the Costco customers in Spain and US can enjoy cheaper price since they manage software with cheap labour cost in Vn. I try to address this but Costco refuses to increase the pay, or they will move outsource to India. Actually not only Chinese brands, but Apple, Hm, Zara, etc are exploiting cheap labor in many different ways, financial outsourcing services to Hongkong and Singapore, software outsourcing to Vn, India, China, Colombia. Those people are working extra hours with low pay, suffering inflation for us dollard peg, while British considering 4 working day per week.
