Oh, don't forget their 'free to freeload from the hard work of others' with their toilet papers.
After
freeloading for decades, they came back to claim that 'slave wages'
were used to produce such goods that they had been 'freeloading' and
enjoying for decades. In other words, Apple and other USA and Western
entities in China were paying 'slave wages' to Chinese workers since
setting up their production bases and they should take the blame. Why
blame the Chinese Government for that?
Truth be said, India by
definition is also paying 'slave wages' to Indian workers in Apple's
factory in India today. Apple wants to move to India to continue paying
'slave wages' in order to make bigger profits at the expense of Indian
workers. How come the USA and the West are not advocating against those
'slave wages' in India? Double standard again? Is it because India is
their asset to counter China and no criticism is allowed, just like
Israel committing genocide in Gaza?
Western hypocrisy knows no limits. It is becoming a disease. An incurable disease.

It is claimed by one particular hardcore anti-China social media site that Apple's move out of China is picking up speed. And with that, Foxconn needed to cut production and laying off workers like no tomorrow in China. Is that really going to hurt China?
For every Western entity moving out of China, there are dozens of Chinese new manufacturing setups ready to take its place. All in new tech or high-tech sectors, not laundry shops or soap kitchen setups. Huawei and Xiaomi have even branched into making EVs, away from their traditional area of making telecommunication equipment and systems, smartphones and also chips. That is how innovative Chinese companies have become.
Apple tried for decades to make EVs and failed miserably and had to abandon the idea. So, do understand that even Apple is not infallible and also subject to failures. Either that or it has now come to realize that it has chosen 'the wrong tree to bark at', knowing that it cannot compete with China in EVs after all.
And remember that those entities that left China not only will lose their footprints in China, after decades of hard work setting them up, but they will also lose the Chinese market as well for good. On top of that they now have to compete with China in the global market if they were to move back to the USA or Europe, where production cost is multiple times that of China.
China is expanding its priority and pouring its resource into new energy manufacturing, that can absorb the skilled workers laid off by Foxconn and others. Foxconn is not the only assembly plant for Apple employing workers in China. Luxshare Precision Industry is also another Apple assembly partner in China. There are so many smartphone players in China that are well known around the world, and they need skilled workers as well as they expand their production.
Apple and Foxconn can enjoy themselves in India, trying out the Indian rope trick, and hanging themselves in the process. They can keep massaging their own ego and believe in their illusion that they are expanding their footprints in India, when they are clearly constrained by skilled workers and engineering talents. Apple's iPhone sales is facing headwinds, not improving with the India move so far. iPhones made in India have been rejected in Europe and Chinese buyers are refraining from touching them. Apart from that, the Chinese Government is phasing out iPhone usage in Government entities.
The only consolation for Apple and Foxconn is that can continue with their agenda of paying 'slave wages' to Indian workers to make bigger profits. And for that, the USA and the West will not say a word. That is their 'double standard' practice, culled from their playbook.
The Whites never did depart from their sickening slavery habit.
Centuries ago, they kidnapped young Blacks from Africa to work as slaves in USA. In today's modern slavery architecture, they set up factories in other countries and paid workers in those countries 'slave wages'. 'Slave wages' are only paid to slaves, right?
As long as the Whites can still enjoy the products manufactured using 'slave wages' they will just keep quiet and merrily enjoy the freeloading, year in and year out. When that starts to end, they will accuse countries, instead of their own entities, of paying 'slave wages' to produce goods for them to freeload.
Now Indian workers are being paid 'slave wages' to make iPhones for Apple, but we hear no accusation and absolute silence from the USA side. India's day of reckoning will come when it is in the crosshairs of the USA.
