The EU and the US both have very strong laws banning impirts of goods made by forced labour. Not good enough imho, but, unfortunately, Canadian laws regarding forced labour are much weaker. Canadian PM Carney wants to make the world believe otherwise. He has been widely criticized for this of late.

This Yoghtos is just a troll frequently spreading hatred and insulting other users while parotting Chinese propaganda. Safe your breathe I would say.

Is there a special reason why you frequently turn to this sort of second-hand intimidation in your posts? Do you think your often misleading and - as in this case here- false information is more credible then?

The national wealth-income ratio increased from 350 percent in 1978 to 700 percent in 2015, while the share of public property in national wealth declined from 70 percent to 30 percent. We provide sharp upward revision of official inequality estimates. The top 10 percent income share rose from 27 percent to 41 percent between 1978 and 2015; the bottom 50 percent share dropped from 27 percent to 15 percent. China’s inequality levels used to be close to Nordic countries and are now approaching US levels. Source

Inequality in China has been further increasing in China in the last 10 years by all comparable standards. Some numbers for comparison can be found here :https://wid.world/world/#shweal_p90p100_z/US;FR;DE;CN;ZA;GB;WO-PPP;CA/last/eu/k/p/yearly/s/false/37.836/125/curve/false/country

As everyone can see, and as evidenced by a strong body ol research, China is among the least equal societies on the global.

Canada’s Finance Minister says he raised the importance of labour standards during meetings with top Chinese officials

What exactly did he raise? Will Canada improve its laws and ban imports made by forced labour?

That’s literary the number one feature of capitalism. It only benefits the people who have capital …

That’s a widespread misunderstanding. If this were the number one feature of capitalism, then China would be the most capitalistic country worldwide. There is MUCH more inequality in China than anywhere in the West, including Canada. In addition, inequality in China has been increasing in the last decades, particularly in the last 10 years.

I don’t hate China. This is a simple fact. Just read the statistics.

I don’t understand why so many people appear to freak out if you criticize China. It seems one can criticize everyone and everything back and forth, but if you are criticizing China you are at least whatabouted to death.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a very bad development and it really threatens democracies. But the truth is that wealth inequality is even worse in dictatorships like China or Russia, and it has been widening at an even faster pace than in Canada, Europe and their democratic allies.
