I am talking based on my understanding of the Chinese system, and knowing people working in these construction companies abroad. The point I am making is that if it is a desirable job, it is not easy to pass on jobs to prisoners as the article suggested. Selling drugs may be more profitable, but you still prefer a developer job. You cannot apply logic that way. These are state companies, they are responsible for hundreds of thousands employees if not more, those people need jobs. And most jobs require training and expertises. Anyway, we are living in parallel worlds now. I am trying to chip in whenever I can.
