"China does not have unions ..."
Oh the irony. A communist country that exploits its workers like a true capitalist.
- akgerber 17y agoChina, of course, only being nominally communist.
- eru 17y agoAnd capitalists only exploiting workers when it pays.
- josefresco 17y agoOne could argue that China is either the worst of both worlds (capitalism/communism) or the best of both worlds.
- eru 17y agoOr something more nuanced.
- jhancock 17y agoChina is in no way a communist country. What is was before can be left to the opinions of those that experienced it. What it is now is most certainly not communist by any definition I know. China is very uneven in its protections. Wal-Mart attempted to preclude unions when it opened in China, much like it has managed to fight them in the U.S. Somewhere between citizens and government, it was decided Wal-Mart could not do this; Wal-Mart was clearly told that unionizing was protected by the China constitution. Of course, this is a grand exception to the standard that the boss controls the game more than government rules do and government regulation is highly uneven.
