China - Up Shit's Creek

[AFTT47]

Interesting. I turn a skeptical eye towards this in the same way I do religion because I don't have all the facts. I would bet against it being quite as bad as this article makes it out to be but I wouldn't be too surprised if it really is. From what little I have researched on the subject, it does sound like China went all-in on their meteoritic manufacturing rise. They massively exploit the workers. Most of their companies obviously take no pride in their product, cutting costs wherever possible at the expense of quality. If you're going to go in that direction, it's not a stretch at all to put aside safety and environmental responsibility. The consequences this report claims is a logical outcome of such a policy but I would have expected it to take much more time.

I'll be looking for further news of this with interest.

Thanks for posting, Min.
