I find these articles more likely to make me numb to actual abuses because they're so one dimensional and banal.
At the end of the day, these are of the highest paying jobs in the country. "Fair pay" is highly relative and these jobs are slowly and surely helping to build up the Chinese middle class.
Progress is slow, and simply trying to graft the standards of Western societies onto places way behind is tone deaf to reality. Chinese PPP actually higher than USA which considering where the country was only 50 years ago should be seen as a great accomplishment http://www.ibtimes.com/china-economy-surpasses-us-purchasing-power-americans-dont-need-worry-1701804 http://www.ibtimes.com/china-economy-surpasses-us-purchasing...
This article is just a hit piece void of any actual economics because it's hip to hate on rich people, in particular one who got there by grinding out efficiency at a desk made from 2x4 for years before the success started.
Hell, when I was 16 working in a kitchen finally making money I did everything I could to get overtime and my goal was hitting 60 hours a week.
These countries will change at their own pace, and Bezos or Apple aren't evil for being of the best jobs in a given country.
