Jack Welch, CEO of GE –
“Don’t own a cafeteria: Let a food company do it,” he advised. “Don’t run a print shop: Let a printing company do that… This is what outsourcing is all about,” he continued, blithely concluding that the jobs simply “migrated elsewhere,” as if the careers of thousands of Americans were birds seeking warmer climes.
Workers rarely fared so well at their new employers. Instead of having a job at GE, a stalwart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and a reliably decent employer, the workers were funneled to contractors that typically offered inferior pay, little benefits and little job security."

Lol, lets not let Chinese of the hook here alright? Chinese billionaires been running their sweatshops and buying up foreign property since forever ago.
Letting them off the hook for what though? Continuing the same behavior that the US used to have before the gains of the labor movement in the early to mid 20th century? That’s why these companies all outsourced. Opening relations with China in the 70s gave them acess to cheaper labor where before they had less ease.
Is that any different than American billionaires? Or any billionaires?
Why not call it both? Wouldn’t be all too wrong.
