How is capitalism over there going to make anyone money? US companies in other countries, especially China, pay not nearly enough for an average person to sustain life. What they need is a stable economy, reasonable jobs, and healthcare. A community, rather than one big factory. Selling the oil and using it to sustain the people is a start. When building nations you need to focus on what you can do for the people, not how you can use them.

A living wage compared to what?
You must define that first.
By not allowing folks to work for "Nike" or whomever else, you are denying them an opportunity they would not have had.
What is the next best alternative to Nike in some 3rd world countries?
Prostitution is one of them.
Folks are lining up to get those "sweatshop" jobs.
If they were no better than their next best opportunity, then they would not work for the "sweatshop" in the first place.
It is called voluntary exchange.
