Common foreign child labour W.

Non-native here, I'm very sorry but I can't parse that sentence.

format of the meme is: common/rare... W/L

With w being win and l being lose, meaning that someone often (or not so) does something well (or not well)

Oh. So it's not because I'm non-native, it's worse: I'm old and have lost touch with modern culture. Thank you for indulging an old fart (T_T)

"No matter what you do as a manufacturer you will never be able to offer competitive prices unless you exploit child labour in some 3rd world country."

It's gibberish. Young people or middle-aged people who are afraid to let go have developed a way of speaking that is similar to a small child's.

I believe the point they were making is that people are used to cheap prices because of the use of child labor. These shoes are expensive compared to that, leading to that gibberish-speaker claiming a win for child labor.
