" ... These rights have been entrenched in international human-rights conventions and are part of international law.."

A technicolor dream ! Merely another "rights" diatribe, easy to write but not part of Darwin's mandate. I await an equally sincere but ineffective try at "responsibility".

International conventions and law are subject to the whims ad fancies of sovereign states - there is no supranational enforcement agency. And 1.4 billion Chinese are not interested in our whining about jobs or competitive failures.

As long a WE line up to buy goods mad in China - or wherever-  it is WE wo decide our economic future and related "rights" - nobody else.
