Free trade without equal worker protections is just not going to work out.

At least as soon as the others might gain an advantage. The West was quite happy to exploit people in poor countries and to poison their environment as long as westeners got rich off it.

The west isn't a person or entity.

A lot of people in the West are doing their best to combat exploitation in poor countries.

But at the end of the day, the West can't stop Xi from oppressing minorities in China, or Putin from attacking Ukraine or Modi from oppressing minorities in India.

The elites in non-western countries have way more influence on those things than western elites do.
