Absolutely nothing, welcome to one of the big problems of capitalism.

The "race to the bottom" benefits the consumer, don't forget. We will make less money in wages, but we will also have access to far cheaper goods and services because of increased productivity globally. It's not a big problem of capitalism that people in third world countries can pull themselves out of poverty, it's one of its great triumphs.
