    I haven’t. Us cutting the US middle man can only affect my fellow Chinese worker positively since there’s more money left from the transaction without that middle man and less leverage to depress her pay, ceteris paribus.

      Oh, no, your fellow Chinese worker will still suffer from forced labour under the same regime while the markup goes the corporation owner. It’s just now a Chinese company owner under the control of a dictator. That’s the same thing, but you criticize the one and praise the other. What a hypocrisy.

        The vast majoriry of manufacturing in China has always been done by Chinese companies. Goods we buy from Walmart aren’t made by Walmart factories in China, employing Chinese workers. Walmart finds the cheapest Chinese manufacturer of trays then orders their Great Value branded version, shipped straight from the factory to the Walmart distribution hub. Walmart is the middle man. We cut them. The existing employer of the Chinese worker making the trays remains unchanged. There’s no hypocrisy. We’re cutting the most profit-hungry middle man from the supply chain is all. We know how things work.
