Stress, low wages, even suicides happen in American workplaces too. I lived in Thailand for a few years, saw the sweatshops (garments, backpacks), I know what they pay. It didn't look like great work, but it also seems to differ from the cubicle farms I used to slog off to every morning only in degree, not in kind.
People on HN with good educations and jobs in advanced economies complain all the time about stress, burnout, the personal toll of the job, feeling unappreciated, disposable, and underpaid. I'm not saying we should just accept what goes on in developing-world sweatshops so we can have cheap running shoes and iPhones, but the problem of oppressive workplaces seems more pervasive and baked-in to global capitalism.

Not that we can address as individuals, no. Wages and working conditions will improve in China and elsewhere, just like people in Britain and America no longer have so many horrible sweatshops and factories full of low-paid and interchangeable workers (compared to 75 or 150 years ago). Read Dickens for example -- every industrial economy so far has gone through that phase. Then eventually the Chinese can sit in cubicles getting ordered around by an AI, while under strict surveillance, getting paid more to keep their consumer economy rolling, stressed and miserable just like Americans.
