Now do J.D. Vance.

Honestly, if this were a report not on China but, say, on Europe, the US or Australia, would you say the same?

I would for Europe. They seem to invest resources in tackling it and making it a real priority.

• Child labour: A priority for EU human rights action

Australia is more of a mixed bag.

• Australia’s child workers are vulnerable to injury, harassment and exploitation thanks to weak and inconsistent laws

For US, fuck no. They embrace it.

• Child labor violations rise in US – as Republicans still roll back protections

CHRD drew on government penalty notices, online databases, court documents, and Chinese-language media reports, among other sources, documenting rights abuses in 11 provinces between 2019 and 2025.

Sounds like they do care about it and are tackling it.
