Perhaps "human rights" is too broad an umbrella, but I still think it applies. My primary complaint is not about wage. It's about the treatment of workers in general. Unsafe conditions, unsustainable hours, exposure to chemicals, dangerous equipment, forced labor, physical abuse, etc. And, yes, people can be underpaid even relative to their cost of living. Combine those things with governments that afford little or no transparency and you have what amounts to a "human rights" problem (in my opinion). Seriously, it's not hard to find reports on working conditions in China ... yes, I know they aren't all bad ... but it aint Willy Wonka's chocolate factory over there. Nothing wrong with putting a little research and thought into your purchasing decisions–that was my point. Oh, and I don't think your last question was honest ... because it makes no sense. The solution obviously isn't to have no employees in China.
