I mean, corporations and the government aren’t exactly the most honest entities around. China has used forced labor in the past so there should be some scrutiny, but we also have documented cases of the US using forced labor - I mean the constitution literally allows slavery - and nothing has been done about it. In fact politicians, businessmen, and citizens have repeatedly opposed changes to prison labor and the constitution because it would be “too expensive” and that the prisoners “deserve it” for their crimes. China doesn’t even say slavery is happening. The US does and defends it staunchly.
Shouldn’t the richest, most progressive, most democratic, most tolerant country on earth show who’s boss by punishing their human rights abusers? No. Of course not.
