Yes, it's a tough life, but people actually pick that life because other options are tougher (for example being a rural farmer somewhere).
It is true that we should care about conditions in factories such as these and work to improve them. It's also true that if you insisted that Chinese workers get paid what American workers would, there would have been almost no factories and the entire country would still be in desolate poverty. Yes if there were no factories then probably the environment would be in a better condition.
It's a very complex situation. Just picking one angle to it and insisting that angle holds the whole truth does not help anyone.
- hifromsz 11y ago"It's a very complex situation" Unfortunately that wasn't represented in the rest of your comment. That people have much of a choice in what is essentially an industrial revolution is quite far fetched, so is the notion that factory work is easier than farming. I'm also not sure what American salaries has do to with my comment at all. I'm purely stating that people should have some respect for what many Chinese are going through without all or nothing BS arguments. China is much more dynamic than people are used to in the west. The have a much wider range of offerings. If you don't demand anything you're going to get the lowest one. To the disadvantage of yourself and the people doing the job.
