Is it ethical to buy a product directly from China?

Please everyone keep your shirt on. I just don't know about the labor practices over there and the implications of giving them my money directly. I would like to be informed before doing it.

No, but we don't have much of a choice. So many western products are made in countries with few labor laws. I think we should boycott Israel because they're doing a genocide, but when it comes to countries like China and India, I don't blame anyone for buying their stuff. We gotta buy clothes.

@BohoBabe It's something I don't necessarily need but it will aid my quality of life.

And yes Israel is committing genocide.

@SinlessOnslaught Yeah, it's complicated. We don't need video games, is it ok to buy video games without knowing where they're made? The Nintendo Switch is produced in China and Vietnam, is it ok to own a Switch? We don't need it to survive.
I say we have to enjoy life, we have to cut some corners when it comes to ethnics.
