this is something you can be really weasly with definitions about. i mean lets compare framings from western media: "China" uses child labor. technically true enough, there are child laborers somewhere in the country.
but when they catch children working at a meat packing plant in the US, do they call out the US? the US state it was in? even the parent companies? and take care to apply modifiers like "migrant" to the children, so the people the media has wired to disregard crimes against [out-group] can ignore it.
no no no those were Corrupt Developing Nations that did that. Nestlé pinky-promises they send an inspector to make sure the labor is done by adults. rhetorical shell games all the way down
