It indeed is very interesting. I still wonder when the news came out that Europe received wigs sourced from Uyghur hair, how lax the response actually was. Here in the Netherlands the then minister announced they were unable to provide any more transparancy on the whereabouts of packaging because they argument was made that it would be in conflict with the duty of confidentiality of the customs. Sure the wigs reached some traction, but nothing was done. Can you imagine how the world would respond if someone was selling wigs sourced from Jews from concentration camps? No way that the confidentiality of customs would be weighing heavier than. I too wish Europe would take a stronger stance against China, but unfortunately the immense dependency of consumerism made possible by China's cheap labor makes that a very unpopular move. I find the analogy with climate change rather strong as well: To make the actual change necessary, people will have to change some habits. To hold your moral ground against China you will have to accept that prices of products will rise, similarly that if you want to stop polluting everything, you have to accept that stuff will become more expensive as not polluting everything simply just costs more. Dumping whatever toxins you have on your hands is cheaper than actually getting rid of it in the right way, and so on. I believe that whatever succesful strategy to combat climate change en masse will be the same strategy to combat these moral blindfolds for economic gains, and in the end I believe it's tackling the problem at the source: lower prices of production in the local environment to lesser the dependency on China.
