Not for whatever reason - in fact, US citizens would have a different stance about US workers conditions because they have both the responsibility and the authority (due to their sovereignty) to dictate the working conditions of their fellow countrymen.
Since Chinese people won't grant us the same authority, we shouldn't have the same responsibility and hence our position will be necessarily different.
(Same goes for any other pair of countries; eg Germany and Vietnam or France and Bangladesh)
Saying this is not taking sides or being "cynical" or "capitalistic". The point is if you want change you have to FIGHT to change laws and make them be enforced (through lawsuits / unions). It's always a power struggle and you'll stay on the weak side if you keep screaming "morality" at corporate entities and rely on their good will to enforce workers right... Saying otherwise is deluding other people and/or yourself of reality, but i guess it feels good to feel on "the right side" without actually doing anything.
