This is totally different.
'Conditions' for any group of Chinese working in Western factories have massively improved during that time, largely due to said 'factories', paradoxically.
'Trade and business' have pulled 100's of millions in China out of extreme poverty. We can argue about equality, but on the whole, things are getting significantly better.
The issue here is one of the people in concentration camps due to their ethnicity, and of forced labour. Which is altogether another level of oppression.

In other words, I don't think the following ever entered mr Knight's calculus when he first closed down factories in the US and opened them in China "What are these American workers going to do, how will our closures affect the communities and what is our responsibility to workers in China in terms of work conditions and bringing them out of CCP perpetuated poverty? I don't one bit. It was more like, how many more shoes will we make and sell and how will our profits improve?
