"More than 10 million migrant workers lost their jobs in the third quarter of 2008, after falling demand overseas forced the closure of around 670,000 factories, especially in the coastal regions, the ministry said in an earlier report."
Totally agree. If you don't live in China, work in China, grow up in China, what do you know about China? Standing in a different world, applying different (normally much higher) standards to other peoples' lives doesn't make it fair for anyone. Especially those poor workers. You will only make them feel more miserable yet can't do much about it. 'Coz if they quit, hundreds of thousands more would love to take up the vacancy. Then what? Wait for UN to feed them? I think this is much better than what's happening in Africa anyway.
