IMHO Intel was just dumb for annoncing to blanket ban anything from Xinjiang. They can still audit their suppliers and discontinue collaboration with those that look suspicions.
Impossible. You are thinking about it as an exercise in rationality and morals. This is a fight of chimp tribes, all the bla bla about human rights,justice, liberty is a very thin coat about the hate for the other band of apes. We are talking about 7 million years of evolution in action.
Does it make it better to make our workers compete with people without rights, healthcare, holidays, sustainable pay? I don't have any problem with China they can ban what they want, I would just desire that this open borders crap would require import only from countries where workers have a compatible standard of living of importing countries
I probably should have added the implied "in this particular way at least".
Also, the problems you describe don't affect all of the western world. And I would like to add, based on talking to a few chinese friends, those things are a problem in China as well. Competition in particular is quite brutal from kindergarten onwards there.
