"imposing Western ideas of what a workplace looks like is going to reduce opportunities for poor people in China. It's really unpleasant to look at and think about people doing unpleasant work in unpleasant conditions"
That really is the crux of the issue in many regards. The aid programs that I have seen work focus on education and loans for people who wish to better their skills or go into a different field rather than trying to come in and 'fix' the system till it looks like the what we in the western world recognize. At the same time, there are certain conditions that no human should ever have to be exposed to. As anything, it is a balance and I believe both viewpoints are needed for there to be a total solution.
Thank you again for the thoughtful discussion.
