don't forget, they have no minimum wage there...the corporations make all the money and the workers get squat...pennies a day.

You sir, are clueless.

$1.50 a week seems fair to them top party peeps. An extreme version of US these days.

i highly doubt anyone is working for 1.50 a week.
I know i dont know everything about China. However i actually own a development company in China. Our workers make way above average salary. They are awesome programmers though.

The average wage in a mid range city is about 4000 RMB roughly 550 a month.
While that doesnt sound like much for you or I. Living is cheap in China. Rent an apartment is about 1000 rmb/month. food for a day? about 30-50 rmb if you eat out every meal.

Now if you go way into the countryside people are making less im sure.

I am sure you are right. I was speaking of factory workers, unskilled. Wages are extremely low, brutal days, hard to get paid. After room, board and fees, the wage received is pretty low.
I feel bad for the workers and the children living in cities. Japanese companies have begun recalling mid and upper level managers due to the living conditions sinking rapidly.
So they say.

i do hear reports about bad water etc.
i only drink bottled when there....they have imported stuff from portugal.
pollution is high...as in very high.
So i can understand the concern.

$1.50 a week...

Thats more than I make...

[Captain Kawaii]

Thats more than I make...

I'm on a fast track to be @ $2 in a year or so.

its pure slavery what goes on in some parts of china...

for example the apple factory has suicide nets...stop and think about that for a minute...suicide nets at work

some people will argue that without these slave labor job prices the big corporations will not come, business will not be made, and they would starve anyway...but this is not the case because it would still be cheaper to produce in china than in the USA for example...

the chinese government puts up with it because they make major major bank on all the shit and there is nobody in the world who can tell them what to do anyway...

If he's clueless why does it warrant that you address him "Sir". Nothing wrong with that but you've done it before so I was just curious.
