The comments section there says everything about how many people process such questions:
- historical ignorance;
- economical ignorance;
- repeating mass media propaganda narrative word for word;

I do hope europeans will start working as hard and as low-waged as chinese people did last two decades though, so those tech transfers will actually be on point. They lived too comfortably recently, forgetting that you always bear the hidden price for that in some way. No cheaply available products reality _is_ the norm, after all.
