Is their "slave wage labor" really any worse than being a construction worker in the US, in relative terms?

[velp]

Um.. yes? Construction work may be back-breaking and hard but it often pays well, or at least can serve as a path towards a trade or higher earning.

Yes, significantly so.

~18 workers died and hundreds were injured building the HK bridge to Macau and the Mainland which opened in 2018.
