This really awful, but maybe it's also an indicator of the flattening effects of globalization? Not so long ago, the unthinkable thing wouldn't have been child labor in the supply chain of a big company, but we all would have expected it to be an American company with Asian manufacturing. Actually relatively recently, I had an executive from an American company express to me earnestly that child sweatshop labor helps grow local economies, and therefore it was misguided to condemn the practice. But it seemed implicit, in a condescending way, that that was justifiable for other people in other places.
