I wholeheartedly agree with you on almost every point and a couple you haven't mentioned.

But isn't this just the nature of globalization? And aren't the corporations in the countries you mentioned complicit in choosing to cut costs by moving production to cheap countries? And aren't we as consumers complicit in continuing to buy cheap goods like it's going out of fashion (wishful thinking lol).
