None of the usual consumer items you currently buy are likely made by companies that meet all criteria listed. If anything, Chinese workers are probably better compensated than some other developing countries you have not listed. But since you insist on termination trade with such companies, I suggest you stop using almost all consumer products(Computer, smartphone, TV, Auto, household appliance, etc) as even products made in developed countries contain many parts from companies not compliant with your criteria.

Fair or hypocrite much? Don't say the criteria only applies to China.

I get my information first hand from Chinese expats many of whom stem from rural families. The picture they paint is quite different and in line with articles like this:

But it's good that there are companies that meet my criteria. Those are the ones we should be doing business with. I have no doubt there will be many more to come should we be firmer about our standards. And this applies to companies in general, not just in China. If it means paying more for certain consumer products, I am totally OK with that.

Here comes another typical Western liberal who speaks one size fits all universal norms and standards. You imply your norms and standards are golden standards for all societies across the globe regardless of native conditions and circumstances. If those societies that come up short to these golden standards then they are not of worthy of trades and be damned and cursed their governments? Basically you are assuming you speak for the best of all the humanity because the rest of the world haven't figured it out yet that those things are desirable? Even US of A can't meet your utopia standards.
How convenient and shallow is your thought process. Is that what your western education brought to you? That's the best you can figure out so far in your life?

When you Westerners complain China coming up short with glass half full, Chinese brought out the smaller glass and get on with fetching more water.

Don't apply your liberal values outside your borders. It only brings war, strife and regime change.

I got no problem with your high standards. But I bet you go about in your daily life without half of the stuff us average Joe have in our lives.

So unless you are extremely rich, and could afford stuff made without use "slave labour" or you live in a tree house.

Buying products from a company that exploits human labor is tantamount to supporting such practice. I think it's in the interest of all of us to call that behaviour out and stand up to it. Same goes for environmental pollution.
