Documentary about factory workers in China

[wutangclan49]

china gives us stinkbugs and diseases, we give them slave labor. fair enough.

[allhailSTEWIEGRIFFIN]

@wutangclan49 china also gives you 80% of the things you own

[bin1127]

this is sad.... 

[renattowandering]

It would be nice with english subtitles!

I can't understand the major part of it.

Mas se tiverem legendas em português seria ótimo. ;)

[Shukria123]

slavery

[jmintube]

@Shukria123 this is capitalism

[seanjoseph123456789]

Isnt all our electronics made this way ?

[devilmagic]

Wow that chinese girl is a b*tch.. Her parents are poor farmers in china. In one scene her Mom cooked up some noodle for her, as the mom sit there and watch her eat. Mom asked " so which food taste better, my cooking (noodle) or the factory meal. The b*tch girl replied " ofcourse the factory food, look your food, what you put inside. Nothing! The factory food has so many varieties and your noodle dont have anything." as her mom watches her daughter eat and added " yea.. I know the factory eat m

[micrill50]

@missnewbienoob We american are very silly lazy and fat

[megatroll]

@micrill50

And violent.

Don't forget violent!

[LordSamuelJ]

I couldnt imagine how horrible it would be to have to live on the job site of a crappy factory job.

[aeopmusic]

FAVORITED. I skipped thru 30 youtube videos today, but watched this one all the way thru!

I can't believe how easily everyone ignores the camera at 2:12, 6:00, and 8:00 ~ it's almost like a soap or reality. I liked hearing everyone's opinions at 9:15 about countryside vs. city living. Are the close up handholding scenes supposed to infer something?

I really enjoyed this; great, great job to whoever made this! I would donate or invest to see this turned into a full-length documentary.

[Sauron767]

Shes a little hottie, look at those hips god damn....i'm a year older than she is >=]

[J88Wolf]

Were they eating from dog bowls in the beginning? o_o

[stcywll]

@J88Wolf they were eating dog

[123nypd1]

I agree I live in the suburbs and its very boring but at least I live an hour away from NYC;

[MrJapper88]

@123nypd1 the reason why you are bord is because you are borring.

[creativeengineer]

A lot of these Chinese women are lesbians, like at 0:45, 1:21 and 1:29. I guess open homosexuality is allowed in China.

[missnewbienoob]

@creativeengineer How ignorant can you be?! It's not "lesbian". Some cultures of the Far East form close affectionate--non sexual--friendships. If you see two Italian men greet each other w a kiss on both cheeks, does that make them gay? NO. That's the culture. The rest of the world isn't affectionately cold w/ sexual hangups and enforced gender stereotypes like the US. A boy wears pink in Asia = no meaning. In America = gay. So stupid. Go read a book or something.

[MissKrystalKnight]

@missnewbienoob hahaha YESSS! C:



[hayoula123]

@missnewbienoob Well said, thank you...

[travelingwithblu]

@missnewbienoob I love your thinking I wish more in the USA thought like this!

[creativeengineer]

@missnewbienoob I have seen adult Chinese women go arm in arm in the west in public just like some western women. I wasn't born yesterday - they are gay. I have nothing against homosexuals. But please not in public as it is offensive. Gay or straight, showing such "affection" in public is offensive. What people do behind closed doors is their business.

[Izlandzadi14]

@creativeengineer Uh, they're not lesbians just because they walk arm-in-arm. AND, certain nationalities don't have more lesbians than other nationalities, the rate is pretty much the same.

[MrSuperManson]

they're not speaking mandarin,..

[Hyperchiller]

@MrSuperManson yes they are...

[THEunique4158]

@TheBerginton they have it way better than for the people who work at nike at least they can get a home and eat but still i hope it gets better for them all

[TheBerginton]

I hope that working conditions even though slowly but steadily improve for chinese workers, after watching this I feel fortunate for what I have.

[jcdenton2k]

This reminds me of America's high schools.

Sure as hell eat way better than most Americans, that's for sure. Actual real veggies and fruits? In a cafeteria!? O_o

[1XMarksSpot]

@jcdenton2k No no, in America's high schools, most students aren't that hard working or disciplined lol.

[ericssson]

those girl should just do porn better pay better working conditions

[IRFANMAJEED2004]

@ericssson they don't need to coz your women are already doing well

[lubi2010]

English please :(

[hannahunney]

I never buy anything made in China. If somebody gives me a gift made in China, I return it.

[sanzibar76]

@hannahunney WHAT ABOUT THE COMPUTER YOUR TYPING ON. JUST SAYIN.

[hannahunney]

@sanzibar76 I thought about that right after I said it. i don't know where it was made (probably China). I bought this computer before I knew about Chinese labor issues, and I hope it will last until China is more humane to its people.

[sanzibar76]

@hannahunney I GOT YA. CHINA CLOSED ITS BORDERS, THEY SAY THEY HAVE BIRTH CONTROL BUT DAMN WHEN DID THEY START LAST WEEK. IM NOT SAYING ANYTHING BAD, I THINK ITS GOOD TO HAVE SUCH A HUGE SUPPLY OF LABOR OF YOUR OWN PEOPLE AND CULTURE BUT LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO GET PEOPLE FED THERE. THATS WHY ITS SO CHEAP. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MORE THINGS PRODUCED HERE AND NOT HAVE TO BUY SLAVE LABOR, BUT I SEE US GOING THERE SOON, THEY CANT LOCK UP EVERYONE CAN THEY? SOME ARE NOT EVEN GETTING JOBS HERE.

[hannahunney]

@sanzibar76 I think Micheal Moore said that capitalists ar SO greedy that they will sell you the rope that will hang them? Something like that. Without the computer, I would never have known.

[kahnmoon]

@hannahunney Why?

[jezzmoto]

English would be nice.

[pythor2]

@jezzmoto It's called google translate. Does a fair job.

[Abonanno24601]

@pythor2 i just took your advise and it took me almost an hr to watch this with Google Translate

[pythor2]

@Abonanno24601 hahaha

[GuiltyFaT]

I have no idea what there saying, is there an English version anywhere ?

[sinthetix1]

This looks exactly like death camps that Hitler had, Auschwitz etc.... The only difference is that in the nazi camp, your motivation to work is to not to be shot to the head, and here, the motivation is not to starve.

[P4trikk]

Ive watched several docs this morning on this subject (since its all over the news) They got breakfast, lunch, phone calls… All these people saying how bad it is need to take a look at the average American job. Really. And how do they get off blaming American companies? Id rather they bring the jobs back here anyway, Ill gladly pay more for anything stamped USA on it. BTW yes, I do work in an American factory and have for 2/3 of my life. PROUDLY

[stiepcia]

my friend ask boss " where are all workers gone?? and the boss say " maybe they go to sleep? Maybe they eat. or maybe they just leave job for today"

And yes, they got so strict law because Chineese workers dont want work.

After each hollidays in big factory, about 100 workers did not back to work!! They are lazy, they prefer to be homeless with no money.This is the problem.Heh my work place dont offer my any sleep room. Sorry for my English once again..

[stiepcia]

When i go to work I don't call to my mom and don't cry that i want back to home!

They can't prosper from agriculture but they don't want go to the city! Sons stay with parents and girl working for whole familly?? My friends just back from China, he was working in windmills generators factory and he TRY to learn Chineese workers anything, but guess what?? All factory was stop because when they go for a break they didn back!, they do what they want to do.Btw,sorry for my English.

[cesarvidalcorria]

DONT BUY CHINESE PRODUCTS, IT`S YOUR CONTRIBUTION AGAINST SLAVERY.

[aprilweihung]

@cesarvidalcorria if you dont buy, they just simply go unemployed.

[shannan2000]

so sad :( we could have been them.

[ghanabanana]

seriously if you have a problem with someone opinion you dont fucking put m down to get your point across like a fucking troll, you discuss like proper adult otherwise you have no bussiness being here.

[drewditty]

I don't speak freaky deaky dutch! Where can I view this in the Queen's English?

[phattvids]

I wish this were in english : /

[Ishcoa]

@phattvids

Press CC for subtitles.

[phattvids]

@Ishcoa AWESOME, thanks I'll be watching it again later. Thank you so much!!!

[ghanabanana]

atleast they have jobs hec this is what africa needs to fight poverty but nooo stupid libreals wont let that happen.

[phattvids]

@ghanabanana You're won an award, for being the dumbest person on youtube! To collect please fly to Africa and find all the liberals keeping them from working. Once you've done that, fly back, and your price will be mailed promptly!

[ghanabanana]

@phattvids It bad enough you misanderstand me but you seriously have problems. I mean why be rude or do you hate black people. Maybe you' r a sad loner with no life. Or a loser looking to pick on me. Ofcourse you cant stop africans working in sweatshops but you can boycottt it and for that to work you need people to stop buying, that why human rights activist exist. I wish you or the best in life but i will pray for you to develop some manners like a real man jackarse.

[phattvids]

@ghanabanana I didn't misunderstand anything, you made a horrible comment. Obviously you don't understand the difference between a liberal and conservative agenda. Conservatives would have Africans dying mining blood diamonds and then tell them they're worthless bums when they refuse to work in unsafe conditions. TRUE liberals are the majority of those that care about the world as a whole, hence my comment. Go read about the oil pits of Ogoniland then talk to me about liberals.

[kellykinsellives]

@phattvids You are an idiot. That's why you are a liberal. You stupid liberal fools with your "we care" bullsh#t. You don't care. No good parent would want their children to be dependent on government. No true good parent would want their child not to have a good job instead of getting a handout. But that is exactly what you liberal idiots want. You are the ones who only care about winning elections. Obama has shown that since he did nothing to get ppl jobs for 3 years

[phattvids]

@kellykinsellives I guess suppoerting the Union cause of a good days work for a good days pay is blasphemy too right? Don';t fucking talk to me about welfare, I work my nuts of for a living, take that shit elsewhere. I haven't even mentioned Obama, don't fucking get me started. What makes you think I'm happy with his performance? I said CARE about the world, not support. I'm done with you too, go to walmart and buy something, that'll get the economy running again.

[kellykinsellives]

@phattvids Of course you are done with me because I made you look like a fool. An idiot who supports a union, the same unions that have bankrupted virtually every state. The same unions who have decimated the US education system. The same unions who pay off politicians and gave us the idiot in the white house. Yeah you are done with me. and the american people are done with the ignorant morons like you who told us Obama was god's gift. You stupid liberal fool

[phattvids]

@kellykinsellives You'd better do more research on who's buying who. You haven't even bothered to address my comments to you. You OWN a fucking sweat shop in China you stupid bitch? This how you want to play? What you're saying is, we should all work for fucking peanuts and take "handouts" from corporate America so we can buy cheap sweatshop products? I came to this video to see the ATROCITIES in China that are being committed so you can own a fucking IPAD you dumb cunt,shut it

[kellykinsellives]

@phattvids Hey m_oron, your comments don't even make sense. I can see you are just a stupid Obama supporter who has a crappy job. Of course, this is probably because of your own doing. You are too stupid to find a good job. You want to blame america for your problems cuz u won;t blame yourself, right i_diot?

[ghanabanana]

@phattvids lol dont make me laugh, you stupid libreals get exicted when ever the west invade another country to install fake democracey and you stupid libreals are the problem in africa, then when you finally get it right you cant even do much but complain. Also a sweat shop is not mineing big difference, not perfect, but it defintly a better altenative duhhh, And my brain has more history than Incloypedia so there not much i dont know about africa includeing blood diamonds.

[phattvids]

@ghanabanana I'm gonna quit now, you have won, you're so right. Just keep buying your sweatshop products, I don't care, I'm "liberal"

[phattvids]

@ghanabanana I suppose you conquered Apartheid all by yourself too?

[ghanabanana]

@phattvids yeah and i will keep buying products like nike beacuse i fucking can and when i have enough money am gonna buy myself an ipad with my hard earned backbreaking fucking money. wait did you forget ive got a job as well. How about we do an experiment ship you all the way to africa unemployed with no handouts, benefits or walfare, so we can see how desperate you get in fact did you forget that Uk and USA use to have lots of factorys espically during world war 1 and 2 .

[phattvids]

@ghanabanana I'll tell you what. Learn how to FUCKING SPELL, then we'll talk wise guy.

[ghanabanana]

@phattvids no need you are too dumb to anderstand survival, priveliage boy.

[nyran125]

this makes me so angry, im not buying any Xbox or Aplpe related products ever again. how dar epeople support this stuff..Im not religious i hate fckin god, but this is disgusting.

[liadon666]

the problem is the need for cities....wich I wouldn't need IF ,and ONLY IF I had the LAND THAT WAS STOLEN FROM ME ,as a human , by society.....

[808Hea]

There is so much to admire about the characters of those people.

[TheDazachman]

The two women the story follows are lesbians right?

[babykevinxoxo]

@TheDazachman They are sisters

[shimmertone]

thats a hard life!

[MrRubii95]

@shimmertone idd

[W7King7W]

militery styl



[babykevinxoxo]

American women are treated like queens for the most part and they complain the most. If I was God I would improve the lives of these women. How sad.

[Fonzi79]

@babykevinxoxo Your obviously not American let alone a American woman! So shut the hell up!

[babykevinxoxo]

@Fonzi79 I am American you idiot. What made you think I wasn't American?

[babykevinxoxo]

how sad no child should ever feel less loved. I would treat these ladies really nice.

[bluedeccan]

that man (probably one of the inspectors) who talked to the female worker is from Taiwan, I can tell from his dialect

[Bobbe002]

This is paradise to our industrial ancestors.

[chklitttle]

you wish you could help them ,but i have helped women in Mongolia ,Vietnam .Philippines,Thailand ,and they are plain rude ,ungrateful ,unthankful ,unco-operative and in the end you wonder why you bothered or even tried to help them ,they havent even the decency to email you and tell you how they are ,dont waste your time or money

[WhatTheHeo]

Waar is mama? lol @ 2:55

[kellykinsellives]

What despicable chinese scum these parents are. Did you see how they greet their daughter

6:30? They show no emotion and probably are mad she isn't slaving away in a factory. These are the scum you want runningn the world?

[babykevinxoxo]

@kellykinsellives It is very sad. I feel sorry for these women.

[chetansingh2006]

@kellykinsellives biggest scum on the planet is the white race for not signing the kyoto protocol in copenhagen so before we call scum see ur white slave holding native and blacks in the mirror :)

[kellykinsellives]

@chetansingh2006 You are a dumb scumbag. Name all the non-white countries that signed the Kyoto protocol? Did China or India? Of course not, hypocrite. Black slavery in america is over for 100 years, fool! The president is black, dumb_ass! Where is the most slavery going on today? It is in Africa and asia idiot!!! Chinese child slave labor.

You are just so stupid it is easy to dispute every moronic statement you made

[hwh0626]

@kellykinsellives God.. Child "slave" labour.... They live in a harsh reality. If they don't work they don't get food. Unlike kids in our universe. You call this reality and only fools can't see pass that. Besides, it is only recent years that people have an ethical mentality for denying child labour and primary from the west. Why? Easy, we have enough food for kids to spend their time in other activities other than work.

[kellykinsellives]

@hwh0626 hey idiot, they have plenty of money to feed their people but instead they choose to spend it on building their military in order to goto war with the rest of the world. It is simpleton fools, like you, that alwaysw try to justify the communist regimes

[hwh0626]

@kellykinsellives Say those words to the US government before pointing fingers at others. China no longer employs "communism" you diluted dumb shit. You behave like a white-trash brain washed fat idiot who has no idea what's going on in the foreign (REAL) world and use your narrow minded US-centric view on other countries. People like you only have the intelligence of living in your own fantasy world. You think you're smarter but you're just a sad diluted person living in a box

[styles7887]

@hwh0626 great deal of people dont know how the world works,its are news media here,have a nice day

[kellykinsellives]

@hwh0626 "China no longer employs communism" That idiotic statement alone proves I am the intelligent one and you are the dumbest slant eyed gook on earth. By the way, I am an american who immigrated from germany. My father is european and my mother is from south america. So I have more cultural knowledge about the world than any communist loving chinese idiot who is spoon feed his beliefs by a country run by COMMUNISTs. They have to hide the real world from you idiots by blocking internet,...

[kellykinsellives]

@hwh0626 Hey chinese moron, why are you on an american website using american technology? Oh yeah, the chinese idiots can't invent anything of their own. they can only copy american ideas because they are too stupid to think of any original thoughts.

Look around fool, chinese have no influence cultural around the world. They have no innovations in technolgy. China is known best for slave labor, intellectual property theft,

killing animals that are endangered, counterfeiting. Be proud idiot

[hwh0626]

@kellykinsellives I've seen a lot of people who overrates their intelligence while making ignorant comments like you. However, you're no longer ignorant but rather psychologically handicapped. I can't take advantage of handicap people so I won't be bothered to correct you anymore.

Oh FYI, I've never been to China, I'm an Australian, I work in Taiwan and actually LIVING in a different culture! What about You? Migrated from West to West? Weak! Try live in Asian for a change!

[kellykinsellives]

@hwh0626 I am not the idiot who claimed "China no longer employs communism". that idiot is you, fool. You obviously are too stupid to succeed in the west so of course you go to asia. Btw, I have worked for EPSON in Japan and work with many asians and they are for the most part stupid. The most intelligent engineers I know are white and Indian. there are many asians but they are the grunt workers. They are not the project leads or innovators. They are the dumbest engineers inthe company.

[kellykinsellives]

@hwh0626 So once again u really have shown ur ignorance. You assume I know nothing about asians but I worked for a japanese company and work with asians in high tech. So obviously you have overrated your intelligence because every statement u have made has been proven to be wrong and idiotic. But I bet in Taiwan you are the smartest guy. In the USA you would be a complete failure. U could only be successful in an asian country bcuz they are not innovators and can only copy the west

[kellykinsellives]

@hwh0626 I see from your many posts that you hate white ppl. What's the matter, you jeolous? Of course you are. No normal non asian woman would ver look at an asian guy cuz u r nerds and ugly. U look like u have Downs Syndrome. You are famous for having little rice dicks. If I weere asian I would be jeolous too so I don't blame you

[kellykinsellives]

@chetansingh2006 I see all your Youttube posts are angry posts against white men. What's the matter you feel inferioor to us? You should. I bet you are an ugly dark looking Indian guy who could never get a white woman. What a loser you must be

[TheBrokenben]

Press the magic CC button... Noobs

[galaxymode]

same as my school, bell ring go collect food and eat, bell ring go back class.

[WolfPicklePsychoDog]

If only I knew Dutch. *sigh*

[tarantula152]

Well there are so fucking many of them, at least we are putting them to use...

[TheLandOfTears]

@tarantula152 That's a fucked up way to think of a situation.

[JuanFahey]

OK, fine, sorry if I hurt you.

I have never been to China, but personally know *many* Chinese who immigrated to Argentina, (I´m also learning Chinese) and they all complain about *no* work at all at their home Provinces, preferring to come to Argentina, where working 18 hours a day *does* pay; they come with money borrowed by what Hollywood might call the "Chinese Mafia" but in a couple years they repay and become shop owners.

Unfortunately, I can´t practice with them, none speaks Mandarin :(

[liquidus2172]

female workers are even more cheap than male ones!!!

[JuanFahey]

Are you sure? We can see 324587 other girls not doing so, while *they* compulsively hold hands in *every* picture.

Anyway you are missing the point, my main comment was about the important stuff: lack of jobs forcing them to grab *anything* , even if a poor choice.

Gosh!! , you GLT guys are real sensitive, eh?

(GLT means: Gay Lesbian Transvestite people, name chosen by themselves)

[OrionDubstep]

@JuanFahey

Haha, I'm not gay, or lesbian - or transvestite! I just know many Chinese girls who do exactly this as have lived in China. Your presumptions are quite misinformed. Anyway, as for the jobs - I don't think factory work is a particularly poor choice for rural migrants at this point in time and I think your socio-economic insight into work migration is fairly lacking (correct me if I too am being to presumptuous).

[cool12291]

see this is how REAL documentary are made. WITHOUT the narrator tellling u bs.

[JuanFahey]

Yes, they *are* clearly lesbians, of course.

The compulsive hand holding shows that.

Besides that, which is *their* problem anyway, they come from a very poor city, where clearly there are no job opportunities, so the Factory work is the only option. If they quit and go somewhere else, it will be the same.

[OrionDubstep]

@JuanFahey You fucking idiot. They aren't 'lesbians'. It's common practice in China for girls to hold hands as friends. In India it's even common for men to do the same. Christ..

[andyzpipe]

china parents work so hard to support them and especially their family.

[astrialkil]

So are these girls gay? they walk EVERYWHERE holding hands. why the compulsive hand holding, they afraid the other one will run away? or be kidnaped?

[4148866]

@astrialkil They hold hands as a form of protection. In places as crowded as China it is easy for criminals to grab someone and drag her away. Also, they're girly, you know how girls are...

[XXplaythegamesXX]

the name of the movie is " a workings life " !!!!!

its incredible , that about 800.000.000 chinese working in factories,to support only western and europaen citys and human......

thats why our " tvs and smartphones " THAT CHEAP "

they pay for our consuming.

[AStepAhead100]

@takoylhsopensource They can't demand more... You have no idea.In China if you make demands you get killed.

[Indigodrought]

@KripDrip

They probably can't get a new job because they can get killed if they quit or don't work at all :1

[Lpedraja2002]

lol @ ass shot on 1:17

[KripDrip]

why dont they quit and find another job

[Superthijs92]

loopt vast bij 1:38

[SUpersaiyajinjerkbag]

Why are exploited Chinese women more attractive than american women? I guess american women are a "sweatshop" unto themselves!

[makemap]

@SUpersaiyajinjerkbag Its fast food. Do you like your McDonald?

[Lpedraja2002]

@SUpersaiyajinjerkbag

I agree. I see people complain everywhere about the working conditions the chinese people have to endure on the factories, yet no one proposes any solutions to fix the problem. I for one think that we should help by marrying some of those attractive Chinese women. Hell, I bet they can do every house chore of the day in a couple of hours and have the rest of they day off for themselves lol.

[SUNNYRAINWIND]

@Lpedraja2002 good thinking.. go ahead go meet one and bring her here. As long as you don't bring to much.. we need the chinese culture I don't want it destroyed so allow at least some chinese and chinese breeding.

[ebonics4everyone]

Man, this isn't even capitalism. This is feudalism. It's the new slavery.

[M50SNIPER]

What a low quality of life.

[PhuckHue2]

glad I dont live there. what a shitty life

[KatiushaVN4]

still a poor country

[KhemAndKurami]

@KatiushaVN4 Not really...you are just seeing a poor family in China...you have poor families in other superpowers aswell but it doesn't mean they are poor. What about the gehtto's from America? I'm sure if you didn't know America and saw a family in the ghetto you would also think ''that's a poor country.''

[Randyvdmeer]

Hoe heet deze documentaire?! Ik wil hem terugzoeken via uitzending gemist..

[smerlinbabylon]

@Randyvdmeer: geen idee, maar daar hebben we Google voor, als je zoekt op de naam bij de aftiteling Eline Flipse dan vind je haar CURRICULUM VITAE en daar staat 2005 MADE IN CHINA EMF Films/RVU 50’, opdrachtfilm over armoede in de wereld in de 6-delige serie One Dollar a Day. Waarschijnlijk komt dit fragement uit die documentaire.

[Randyvdmeer]

@smerlinbabylon Bedankt voor je reactie! ik ga even zoeken.

[cazzytd]

@Randyvdmeer fuck you

[yunga70]

All Chinese is hardworker....nice
