It's quite simple, I never said: "All other current and past forms of market system did not have people getting payed for doing evil shit" I simply said that the free market incentivises bad behaviour. Do you see the difference?
As for China, those burnt up toddlers still aren't being denied health insurance! So this just seems like a reductive, sensationalist example of "whataboutism".
So it has something to do with free market, but also happens in other market forms and also unrelated to market forms?
