This is crazy. The GDP per capita in China is totally different than the US and Europe. You're accusing Chen of exploiting these people, but it's more plausible

This is crazy. The GDP per capita in China is totally different than the US and Europe. You're accusing Chen of exploiting these people, but it's more plausible he's providing them with opportunities they're grateful for.
The idea that he's running a virtual sweatshop has more to do with your own biases and preconceived notions than reality.
- dimino 10y agoI have a more general question, but is this what the "gig" economy looks like in China? Would Instapainting and the work it produces for the folks doing the paintings count as "gigs"? Could this question (Are you really paying them enough or just exploiting them?) be asked of anything like Uber?
