The original sin was in the beginning, accepting in the WTO, for Western companies greed, to easily access slave labour, China and other countries that don't respect just basic workers' rights, but neither basic human rights. Short sighted Western companies thought they could exploit that cheap labour, until companies in those countries started massively using it directly to kill Western competition. I'd say that the latter are reaping what they sowed, but Western workers were hit much heavier, as they cannot move their bodies, families and homes as easily as surviving Western companies can with their money and production.
