Can American and Chinese statesmen find their way to a relationship that is simultaneously a rivalry and a partnership? The Biden administration believes that its strategy of “competitive coexistence” is a big step in that direction
Also doesn’t the US actually have a vast slave labour force? Aren’t 1 in 15 black men in for profit prisons making fucking licence plates or pudding or whatever.
Making frozen McDonald’s hamburgers, working in call centers for Verizon and Sprint, making jeans and fancy panties, and taking reservations for American airlines.
Not to mention the work farms that produce food, raise and process cattle.
A typical American, over the course of a week, consumes several products and utilizes several services that are reliant on prison slave labor.
Unnecessarily pedantic point: for-profit prisons are less common (though they exist). The companies that scalp money from the prisoners for goods and services, and the companies that “pay” them for labor are all for profit.
Rich countries rely on a large net appropriation of resources from the global South.
Drain from the South is worth over $10 trillion per year, in Northern prices.
The South’s losses outstrip their aid receipts by a factor of 30.
Unequal exchange is a major driver of underdevelopment and global inequality.
The impact of excess resource consumption in the North is offshored to the South.

It’s true, I’m one of the slaves. They have us towing giant blocks of granite through the Gobi desert to make a 500 ft tall monument to Xi.
