Factories and jobs in China (and other countries with factories) are good (in general, at least). It doesn't get much simpler than that. The only people that have issues with it are the consumers thousands of miles away who are completely detached from the issue and realities facing those workers, and who at the same time fuel demand by purchasing and funding those workers.
- st3v3r 10y agoThat says that jobs are good. It says nothing about the sweatshops.
- chrischen 10y agoOf course if you just make a statement such as the "bad factories" are bad, then yes. The problem is people use the term sweatshop for any factory, because most people using the term are not doing so with much weight.
- st3v3r 10y agoBecause there's absolutely no reason for them to be "bad". There is no reason whatsoever that we have to allow sweatshops to exist.

Ok, that is just not true. Tell that to the garment workers here that were shot last year by government police while protesting low wages and poor working conditions.
- chrischen 10y agoI agree with you. That's bad.
