This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.
Which of the following is a negative aspect of American and European consumerism?
a. People from “Third World” countries want the same products that others want
b. The European Union (EU) faces a serious debt crisis, and it is not yet resolved
c. Chinese workers will work long hours for lower wages than most Western workers
d. Free trade agreements (FTAs) often hurt developing nations and help the West
Answer: c. Chinese workers will work long hours for lower wages than most Western workers
Explanation:
Chinese production is mostly characterized by providing cheap labor, required for assembling the different parts into a final product that will be exported to North America and Europe. The super-exploitation of Chinese workers, makes them work long hours for low pay, and without welfare benefits, is the counter of the China-based exports directed principally at the United States and the European Union. Furthermore, China becomes dependent on maintaining that demand.
