Lol, lets not let Chinese of the hook here alright? Chinese billionaires been running their sweatshops and buying up foreign property since forever ago.
Letting them off the hook for what though? Continuing the same behavior that the US used to have before the gains of the labor movement in the early to mid 20th century? That's why these companies all outsourced. Opening relations with China in the 70s gave them acess to cheaper labor where before they had less ease.
Is that any different than American billionaires? Or any billionaires?
Yes, it takes a certain type of person to want to be a billionaire - that's amount of money nobody could reasonably spend in a life time.
I'm just taking issue with this propaganda of "evil amuricans" when nationality has nothing do with anything.
