I believe that I explained it in my post (well, at least one of them).
But let me offer an example based on my perceptions of some situations in the world today...

Apparently, many programming/software jobs are being outsourced to India. Now I understand that India has a functioning democracy, so the likelihood that any person is being exploited is low. In other words, the wage they are being paid, while no doubt low by U.S. standards, is a reasonable one for living costs there. There *is* the possibility that they are demanded to work unacceptably long hours or in poor working conditions, but I assume that their democratic rights allow them to protest these things and get improvements. And I cannot see how system work can have significant detrimental impact on the environment.

Many manufacturing jobs are, on the other hand, moving to China, a country where a comparatively small 'elite' group CONTROLS the entire population.
To obtain permission to build a manufacturing complex the company must pay bribes to Party officials. These officials get rich and then exercise their control over the people. These officials approve plant construction that disregards health/safety and environmental issues (dangerous chemicals directly into rivers or into the air, etc), making for cheap construction design and the furnish the workers to build it at very low wages. Then these officials force people to work in the factories at very low wages, possibly even collecting a little 'off-the-top' for/from each employee. These poor workers have no idea what a reasonable wage is or what reasonable safety conditions are [keep in mind that in China, as it was here until around the 1960s, people can exist without cash. Farmers, which most of these workers were, make the food they need and have a roof already and can barter excess food made for other good/services they need.] This is exploitation - taking people who have no control and know no better and making them do work (often dangerously) for a wage that has no relationship to what they do and what is reasonable to let them improve their life.
We had exactly the same situation here until around the 1930s. Until that time companies forced people to work long hours 6 days a week (the Church 'owned' the 7th day) and fired them if they refused or couldn't. People were forced to do dangerous tasks and if the refused they were fired. Companies, even as late as the 1960s, poured their wastes into rivers/lakes and into the air, ruining the environment and making people (sometimes whole towns) very sick. WE were exploited!

I hope this explains my position a bit better.
