Because in almost every article about Chinese Labor practice it was filled with details describing how horrible those dormitory livings were, using colorful words like slave-labor, soul-crushing etc.
But to a lot of Chinese people, living in the complex certainly is not nice, but not unimaginably horrid either. I spent half of my college years with 7 other dudes in a room about 130 sqft, for example.
- georgieporgie 15y agoI think you need to read more about the conditions at Foxconn. In college, you weren't doing mind-numbing 12 - 16 hour shifts, the same actions day after day after day until your body failed. You weren't blacklisted for complaining to whoever ran the facility. You weren't maimed by machinery and subsequently completely ignored. There is a lot to be done that has absolutely nothing to do with a "western standard of living".
