american workers should not be competing with this type of labor in a free market. our government should be slapping tariffs on products so that these discrepancies are priced out, & CEOs no longer see themselves getting richer having american innovations made by 19th century labor practices.

for them the conditions are probably pretty good, working in a factory likely beats plowing the fields manually 16 hours per day like most of the population does over there... as their economy progresses over there, so will the work conditions...
I don't see anything wrong with taking advantage of this... Chinese workers get to work in better conditions (as compared to farming), western companies get products produced cheaply, consumers throughout the world get products reasonably priced, and there is even some profit left over for the innovators/investors/CEOs/etc...
everyone involved wins from this...
