All of those chip factories Congress is funding building in the US? Congress is also trying to pass legislation to import underpaid Taiwanese labor for them. I expect the conditions won’t be better.

My point is, it’s a trend we’re seeing in exploitation of factory workers where countries are trying to bring back manufacturing from China.

Ah, I've asked my late dad's friend recently how did it happen that my dad left Samsung (he didn't tell me), and it was generally the same story about the famed Asian work ethic. Hardly compatible with correctness, having dignity and not being a snitch.
