China is not the victim here. They have deliberately overpopulated and created a manufacturing based economy, and kept both the value of the yuan and the worker artificially depreciated. They love having great customers such as the West. They are in no way, shape, or form, victims of western corporate greed. They are, however, only happy to inject life into their economy any way they can get it.
It is the Chinese themselves who have not yet developed higher environmental/safety/labor standards. This makes manufacture cheaper, and gives them their only competitive edge over their many manufacturing neighbors. Well, that and promises of access to their market (which is never quite so profitable as it sounds).
If there are any victims of outsourcing to China, aside from the Chinese living under their own "enforcements", it is the workers at home, bound by those higher-costing production regulations and centuries of industrial regulatory development.
