I have done work in China for decades. You are wrong.

Stop with the Chinese shit.
Jack. It is obvious you have not been to China, or if you have for a very short vacation at best.
Hmm. What province are you from?
You are from Bejing?

Beijing is the capital. It's not part of Hebei. I'm about 200 kilometers away from Beijing.

Mixed economy or not china has a child labor problem. The truth is capitalism doesnt cause child labor.
Human greed does.
You are speaking Bejing Mandarin, not Jilu.

I'm not saying the concept of Jilu doesn't exist. But in reality, people living in Hebei and Shandong don't think of themselves as speaking Jilu. It's a term that only exists in linguistics. Besides, I'm just using standard Mandarin.

This is some amazing subjective trivia... that is neither here nor there.
Great, we have yet another leftist pretending to declare what others know and don't know.
What has this to do with Marxist doctrine?
So we both agree that you lyingly claimed that Capitalism will create child labor and put children in sweatshops.

The Arachnid on JPP said “Yeah, let’s dump all the child labor laws and let capitalism run its course,” is he claiming that capitalism will put children in sweatshops
Yes—that is a reasonable interpretation of what he is implying, although it is slightly stronger than what the literal sentence explicitly says.
His statement:
is sarcastic. The implied argument is essentially:
If you remove government restrictions on child labor and leave employers and workers to the free market, capitalist employers will have incentives to employ children, potentially in exploitative conditions such as sweatshops.
There is historical evidence behind the general concern. During the Industrial Revolution, children were extensively employed in factories and mines, often because they were cheaper and less able to organize than adults.
And the U.S. Department of Labor explicitly says that federal child-labor provisions were enacted to prevent minors from working in conditions detrimental to their health, safety, education, and well-being
Try again, Commie.
Child labor is most common in the Marxist dictatorships you seek to turn America into.
America had very little child labor, less than 1% of the population as defined by the time. I proved this yesterday, yet you continue to lie.
Look, you're a Communist, and a pathological liar - but I repeat myself.
Capitalism created the economic prosperity that ended child labor. Most child labor was agricultural and the shift to an industrial society ended the use of children as farm labor.
Wait a minute, so because China has child labor capitalism doesn’t cause child labor?
Jaysus, no wonder you people are such easy prey for demagogues
Tell us, was child labor common during America’s Gilded Age when pure capitalism reigned, yes or no?
Lie, again
“According to the 1900 census, of the children ages ten to fifteen, 18 percent were employed: 1,264,000 boys and 486,000 girls. Every decade following 1870, the number of children in the workforce increased, with the percentage not dropping until the 1920s. Especially in textile mills, children were often hired together with both parents (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_labor_in_the_United_States)
What ended child labor was mandatory school and government interference, both socialist measures
Amazing how MAGA swear they love America but never ever even took the time to learn its history

Dial it back one step. I notice that you are demanding answers to a question involving the word "capitalism", and you don't even know what that word means.
Rephrase your question with only words whose meaning you grasp.
18% were employed with nearly ALL in agreculture.
What ended child labor was economic prosperity. Which is why child labor persists in the Communist shit holes you seek to turn America into.
