    They do have unions in China, and labor violations are typically punished much more severely in China than the US. Most labor violations in the US like wage theft and unlawful firings go unpunished. In the US if you lose your job you can quickly become homeless and have no healthcare or food, most people in these situations aren’t able to sue anyone and often become addicted to drugs or commit suicide.
