a new report shows the average Chinese worker making toys is paid a meager 36 cents an hour – just 2.5 percent of what U.S. toy manufacturers pay domestically.

If the cost of living in the US and China were equivalent, this comparison would be relevant. A far more relevant question is whether or not the Chinese factory workers are earning enough to provide for their families. In general, they're not -- and that's a far more morally-compelling statistic.

I’m far more concerned about China supplying weapons to our enemies and stealing our technology than I am about the wages of the people producing the garbage they send to us.
