Workers in China who receive money directly from customers are subject to harsh punishment. They typically wouldn't want it anyway.
You can believe that you can pay to "improve" working conditions, and affect what you think is "fair" pay. But in the end you are lining the pockets of a either a dishonest company president, a government worker, or both. (They're drinking buddies anyway, and they have very expensive tastes in cognac.) This assumes that your money actually makes it to where you think it's going.
Let China be China, else prepare to go to war to force them to own cars and houses and pay exorbitant taxes.
If you don't want to support the Chinese way, buy products elsewhere, or make them yourself. Yes, you really can do this. I'd appreciate Pine64 making things elsewhere, but I can also appreciate why they don't, and have no intention of boycotting them.
