How is that any worse than exploiting Chinese workers, funding the CCP, and wasting time and resources to ship goods halfway across the world?

We need to stop being so hung up on ethics that we fail to arrest our civilization's descent.

It isn't - we should be (and a lot of larger corps are) encouraging higher standards for workers in those places, and it is significantly better compared to a decade ago. Not to mention as those workers demand better wages and conditions, it suddenly starts to make economic sense to hire locally.

We should not be taking steps backwards and making that sort of behaviour acceptable, because if we do that at home - then places with already lower standards will compete by lowering theirs further.
