On a personal level? Since corporations outsource all the time

Example-
Signing up for YouTube Premium, Spotify, etc. in India for ~$15/yr vs in USA for $150+/yr.

If you're helping their economy then no. Shame for the sweat shops or factorys that are built there.

Services? Probably not.

Products? Yes because they likely were made with essentially slave and/or child labor.

No ethical consumption. There is basically no way to buy anything without supporting some amoral 1%er. Don't let it bother you. Just distract yourself on the way to the grave like the rest of us.

I recommend alcohol and video games.
This feels like a Futurama quote.

If the company is going to price discriminate based on location for an indistinguishable product or service, I will go for the lowest price.

They're exactly the same products just sold in a different country.
