  • its sad...cant see how the earth is going to survive with so much electronics mixed in the soil

  • @dkamle234 Where do you think the raw materials came from in the first place? Do you think the tooth fairy brought them to Earth?

  • Here we have a mining industry that recycle all the old electronic junk by melting them. They even make profits from the precious metals extracted. The problem is only the lack of initiative.

  • Modern electronic goods need modern technology for disassemble not hammers and home made fires to get to the metals. Chinese government should build a modern plant to clear up that mess and make some good cash.

  • @AndroidGZS chinese eat everthing, from plankton to shit, dont release chinese to amazon, that jungle will turn to sahara

  • haha fuck em, i rather pay someone 2 dollars a day to burn that shit or whatever they do than waste 10 bucks an hour to a worker here, if its made in china should be dumped back there.

  • These are the kinds of jobs Republicans will create once they get their way... :P

  • The western nations hold responsibility for this contamination, but the people of these village also have a responsibility NOT TO BURN THIS WASTE IN OPEN PITS!!! They are doing this to themselves!

  • its GUIYU, CHINA

  • Give them an incentive to manufacture better products!

  • Jo Biden is coming to Beijing, but he will not be stopping by this town for there are no 7 stars hotels...

  • @MaoisWatching

    What a dumb comment...

  • God damn Send me a couple thousand Computer boards and what not, probably got Blu-rays drive in that pile too.

  • @ReallyLav

    Yeah right, most of those motherboards are probably from old 486 machines. Nobody would throw out something new like a BluRay player unless it was broken...

  • @ReallyLav I know. I'm an electronics hobbyist. This is my porn. I'd dive right onto one of them piles of circuit boards. Chips! Heat sinks! I'd have been right there over one of them metal plates with the molten solder on them pulling parts. Only 10 hours? I think I got a good 14 in me today!

  • This is so unfair for China...

  • @davidrossable

    It is the Chinese government's responsibility to promote a safer environment for these workers/enforce existing regulations. RESPONSIBILITY

  • I'm so happy to hear that China is polluted-they eat so many cat and dog meat it's disgusting that these Chinks deserve to die like the dogs they skin alive for meat.

  • @WinterHaven cats and dogs as food are banned in china. it is south east asians like thailand who are continuing to eat them. china always gets the blame.

  • @AndroidGZS tHAT'S A LIE! China has NO LAWS against any kind of animal welfare; in fact, in China Daily, reported 10,000 cats are literally boiled alive daily in Guangdong, China for people to eat. Cat and dog fur garments are sold all over the world, often in the disguise of "fake fur", but it's dog and cat fur. China is despicable. I pray all of China gets buried alive from an earthquake.

  • @WinterHaven well i went to china and went to different cities and went to over 100 restaurants and none of them have dog or cat. i ididnt want to eat them of course, but to survey.

  • @AndroidGZS During the olympics dog meat was banned during the games because the Chinks knew it would offend westerners. The chinks deserve the scorn they well earned.

  • @WinterHaven i found your comment to be racially offensive, and your attitude disgusting. not all chinese people ate cats and dogs. you speak as though chinese people are an inferior civilisation by saying " chinks deserve to die". china has been superior in ancient times until us white people Fucked them up. you should feel sorry for them. i certainly do.

  • @AndroidGZS

    "until us white people"

    Are you chinese or not ??

    Your channel isn't showing for some reason...

  • @HumanRightsVideosT im half goddammit... plz dont mock me for that

  • @ AndroidGZS

    There's nothing wrong with being 50 50. At least you know what you are. I don't but I dont care.

  • @HumanRightsVideos thanks

  • @HumanRightsVideosT what should i say then? us half white people?

  • @AndroidGZS you are a bold faced liar. Cat and dog meat is eaten all over China - I have a friend who visited China and they even have dog carcasses on the street hung on hooks like they do other meat.

  • @WinterHaven i am a bold faced liar? what a fucking dipshit you are. chinese people never did anything bad to you all you are good at is to trash talk and listen to negative properganda lies against china in order for you to feel better in the collapse of western world. whats so bad about eating cats and dogs anyways? you never feel any sympathy for cows and pigs and chickens. what about japanese people? they eat whales- and they are endangered!

  • @AndroidGZS My dog is my friend, not my food. You savage ape!

  • @woerink what the fuck. tell that to filipinos and koreans.

  • @WinterHaven i see your trouble, you must be beaten so bad in china, so you ran back to youtube and release your little hatred here, and earn back your fucking dignity. it's ok. i will also give you a new title: online captain american

  • To deal with population explosion, the Chinese government is quite clever: Simply poison the environment - it helps decrease the surplus population. Let computers handle it!

  • @WinterHaven

    I've often thought that we need some sort of a plan to reduce the population by about 5-6 billion. You know, disease, famine, pollution, or something...

  • Comment removed

  • I always thought it was like "made in China, dumped in India"

  • @lurconis666 may be ur born as arsehole that y u think that it should be dumped into india

  • @zipitar may be ur born a mongoloid in Dadumajra with > 46 chromosomes that u think u know my convictions

  • Check out a company in Canada called GEEP if recycling properly is such a viable business maybe they should set up shop in China as well its all made in China so theres the problem too poor standards stop using dangerous metals

  • aghhh why is this world so messed up? so sadd

  • oh the govement don't care that mean it's ok to dump it ?

  • China ăn cắp! XÂm chiếm biển Đông mà còn ngoan cố!

  • That's called karma,take are job's take are trash.

  • this how the fucking cruel and evil the world is send broken computer to china!

  • @anko8aug wait a minute.....China does not have to accept them. This is a government that does not care, a few million dead is collateral damage.

    One day the entire fucking world's population will be living on a refuse heap the way things are going. Check out what's floating in the sea somewhere.....disgusting.

  • WHy arn't they being donated AND recycled????

  • @xXStarShinesXx

    There probably isn't a strong demand for your old 486 computer, even in China. And they are being recycled. They extract the precious metals, steel, and aluminum, then burn the rest.

  • GOVERNMENTS should be the 1 who should start taking the 1st step to work out with all the manufacturers for solutions to have the waste properly recycled. No parties should just made MONEY and forget about the waste that they invented/created in the 1st place. Typical GOVERNMENTS always pushes all their waste to the poor at a very low cost, making them even poorer to do the jobs.

  • It's a shitty job, but I'd rather a dirty Chinese guy do it for $2 a day than to give it to an American for $10 an hour.

  • @pvtjamesryan3

    It costs $10/hour in America because we have labor standards and health regulations that are actually enforced. In the US we do it in a secure factory with safety equipment, gloves, and masks. The Republicans are working on changing that, give em time and we will have plenty of jobs inhaling toxic fumes all day! Americans keep bitching for more jobs, they will get em back only when we set the standard as low as the Chinese have... :P

  • Poor people have movile phones . . . .FACT

  • @IFyOuClicKThisuRgAy1

    And they are probably more likely to throw their phone in a refuse pile when they break...

  • What the hell is that morse code at the end? Pretty annoying.

  • western world complain how the chinese cause pollution when they are the one who dump their trash there? lol.

  • @wefsaf33

    Chinese are the ones who either have no environmental regulations or refuse to enforce their regulations. Thanks to the Republicans we will be like them one of these days, just give em time and we will have TONS of jobs inhaling toxic waste with no safety equipment :P

  • china needs to do something about those illegal factories...

  • Gawd... "These electronic good designed to improve the lifestyles of the wealthy". Poor people don't buy this crap, right. I bet the camera they used to record this is in one of those dumps. Journalism is a crummy business.

  • Wow her pronounciation is so fuckin horrendous I had no idea she was talking about a place I've lived in. Why didn't someone just take 3 seconds to tell her how to read the name of the place???

  • "They are fighting a battle with the West"... Poor China is invaded with waste against the wish of the Chinese government? Haha, good joke that one.

  • China needs a proper revolution, then human rights, legal state, trade unions and finally proper wages. But the government loves exploiting its people, making some chinese people rich. It is all about money and if you dont fight, they let you rot in hell. Like everywhere else.

  • So sad.........here's an idea: Why not actually try to RECYCLE e-waste? Sorry, folks, but just buying less isn't going to do any good, we need REAL solutions, and soon.

  • Why does USA call itself the best and most powerful country in the world when they exploit LEDCs to such a degree?

  • The guy doing the desoldering has a fan directly behind the hotplate in the wall. It's not ideal, but I've seen rework fans for sale in the West that are wimpier than that. I also note that the transformer on the board he's taking apart is the same as the one in the ATX PSU I have in front of me. :P

    Most of that smoke is not 'lead gas', it's binder and board resist

  • @lexichronicle2 If he was smart he'd strip the boards in a rotating arrangement so he didn't have to cook the epoxy substrate so badly on each individual board. That is what I do. I rotate about 5 boards at a time, work one a little then rest it and work another. But I am trying to salvage the parts in working order.

  • American workers don't make 24-35 an hour...American government workers and white collar professionals who manage productivity and keep the workers wages low do make 24 -35 an hour. tactics used are discrediting years of trade seniority and enforcing new hires of skilled personnel at entry level incomes

  • How does the US compete with chink slave labor....hmm?

    I mean after all 10 cents an hour is slave labor,compared 25-35 dollars an hour.. in the united states.....

  • Deregulation at its finest. Would make any Republican proud. 

  • i wud love to have that pile of mobile phones 00:14

  • Why don't we just ship our electronic waste to a inhabitable desert in the Sahara or something, instead of in the middle of a city.

  • @TheFlameoftheWest

    Yeah, or why not send the jews to Madagaskar? Old ideas always come back, haha. But they dont become smarter over the time.

  • @silverbud I am kind of troubled by your response to my comment.

    The forced deportation of millions of Jews to Madagascar was one of the idea's the Nazi's thought of to deal with the "Jewish Question" as they called it.

    And the point I was making was why not instead of poisoning Chinese people, we dump the computer trash were no one lives, therefore no one gets poisoned.

    There's no connection between the two.

    I would like it if would clarify your intent in your comment.

  • @TheFlameoftheWest

    The connection is the absurdity of both proposals. Not more, not less.

    Why not drop our nuclear waste there, too? We need that more urgently.

    As if there was a place where it does not matter to throw waste and poison. And how do you transport the stuff there, dropping it from cargo planes like bombers? Do you have the slightest idea how much that would cost? And what about the rights of those african countries? No rights, because it is a desert? Who decides? The UN?

  • "We, as consumers, should be aware that old machines we throw away so carelessly are threatening lives in Africa and Asia."

    Amen.

  • I don't applaud the health risk the chinese are putting themselves into with this kind of hazardous jobs, but at least they're not leeching and stealing from others like those Useless Niggers from Lagos Nigeria Megaslums.. at least the Chinese are Working and that is to admire..

  • Industrial civilization is UNSUSTAINABLE.

  • As horrible as it is to the environment, this may be the ultimate place for an experimenter to find good parts for their homemade gadgets.

  • the USA is dumping in the south latin country's and there dumping nuclear wast to

  • lead dont acumulates that fast ...

    that documentary is bunch of bullcrap .

    lead is also in car batterias , people deal woth dose all the time ..

  • Reporter is like: 'OMFG you are using a screw driver, thats so frigging dangerous, dont the govt provide you any safety??!!'

  • @onepeopleonechina: China ain't a developing country, they're DEVELOPED

  • HAHAAAHAAH

  • Do you have a New Year Resolution for 2011? If you are a US American resident, please, please, please urge your Congressman or Congresswoman to support HR (House Resolution) 6252 - the Congressional bill to ban export of e-waste to developing countries!

  • Capitalism prioritizes money first - prices of computers are always decreasing in price, so people naturally want more for less!  Can't tell people to stop buying - consumerism feeds upon our fears - the belief that the more STUFF we have, the longer we survive! We need to BAN export of toxic waste, and then internalize cost of recycling upon manufacturers. Politicians are corrupt everywhere - USA & China alike. Solutions? Go to BAN.org

  • Stop buying the latest gadgets like mindless morons and then the demand will drop and the big companies like Apple will have to rethink their strategy. All consumer good these days are not designed to last therefore forcing us to buy new

  • Chinese pirates like to illegally fish in South Korean waters...recently some of them got killed by South korean coast guards....so whats the lesson commie chinese pigs??? DON'T STEAL!

  • made in china dumped in china

  • @hoplite46 lol

  • @hoplite46 and USA has more debt.

  • @hoplite46 yeah...fuck you

  • journeyman is such a pessimist!!!!!!!!!!!!!and i am indina btw

  • You know this is a given, everybody wants new and better things....

    Even though that the phones nowadays are less toxic than the older ones the problem is that there a lot of phones and people who want them, so its normal to see this happening.

    What is NOT normal is to let this madness go on!

    I wish companies would make phones that are THE MINIMUM TOXIC as possible. I dont care if my phone doesnt have a camera and all those fancy things...

    If I can text and make calls its enough for me

  • @Diluted99 You ask for too much.

  • Allot of the crap being sent there came from china.. why not make the companys that make the crap take it back and have to dispose of it properly..

  • please give us Electronic Trash !

    Japan make Electronic Trash to gold!

  • I think that china forbids most of the photography on the bad areas, who know how few procent's we know about chinas polluting =(

  • I still have my original Cell phone from 1997. It's now retired as the house phone as we don't need a landline.

  • man that s a shame...better there than here...

  • In a way what is happening in China now is a reflection of what happened in Britain during the industrial revolution as in order for Britain to industrialise there was wide spread use of child labour in inhumane conditions as well a a proliferation of slums where the workers who drove the industrialisation lived.

  • At what point will people refuse to do this work? The industry WILL exploit them all - and never be held accountable. ORGANIZE! If no one would do the work, those business and ALL the imports of the waste would STOP. Then the middle-men would have no market for the waste and the chain would back up till the cities of the consumers would fill up with monitors. THEN we might see some thoughtful design that would include "Cradle to Cradle" re-use. As long as "we" accept that we have no choice ...

  • Comment removed

  • @TheFantomfeltpen The workers can't organize under a communist government like China. They would suppress the labor movement by executing everyone involved.

  • 0:01 to skip the ad for people.

  • 0:01 for people to skip the ad

  • Where is this? Guangzhou? The narrator's pronunciation is a bit off.

    Didn't realise how bad it was.

  • Both sides are wrong. The countries dumping their waste in China for profit or environmental law-dodging shouldn't be participating in such a practices. At the same time, the people in China working with the waste should have never been so careless with the electronic waste in their means of disposal. Both sides are sickeningly incorrect with the way all of this is being handled.

  • the great war east vs west 

  • Just because we're Americans, doesn't mean we have to diss every single nationalities in the world. They have plenty of things to make fun of us.

  • THE CHINESE SHOULD JUST ADMIT IT! THEIR COUNTRY IS THE TRASH CAN OF THE WORLD. PLAIN AND SIMPLE THAT IS WHY THEY GET PAID BIGS BUCKS FOR IT!

  • Comment removed

  • @jesse0576

    How is China to blame for this? They're the ones getting crap now.

  • BUT WHATS CHINA?

  • 5:34 Holy fuck, that's healthy^^

  • Why dont we recycle all this metals??

  • fuck USA!!!

  • fuck china!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @maplemanz fuck you

  • @maplemanz you mean fuck greedy companyes

  • @lianglonglong but the chinese are not greedy just desperate to make money so them self and there children have something to eat. and they have to take what job there is because of the huge competition for jobs.

  • It's Guang Zhou, not Kwang Zu.

  • @sega31098 That's exactly what I thought.

    One would think if they are making a documentary about a city, they would at least learn how to pronounce it's name properly.

  • That one worker destroyed a $220 power module from a flat panel TV.

  • guang zoo?

    it's pronounced guong jo

  • Made in China, Dumped in China, 03:09 Look ma, I made this Apple comuter back in the early 90's I'd have had to sell everything I owned back then to buy it, even sell the wife to become a sex slave, now I'm bashing the fuck out of it with a 9 bar.

  • even those china govt economic....it shall take care citizen poor and provide proper safety tools....don't follow like our .............. foot step once pollution never return normal forever.

  • I wanted to post this link as a response to one of my friends facebook statuses about a broken iPod when one of the responses was something to the tune of "don't forget to send it to the hazardous waste collection site." instead I just shook my head and moved on. I've been called a Debbie Downer way too many times to realize people don't want to see the truth.

  • co2 is a droplet in the ocean compared to the real threats of mercury and poisons in the soil where food is grown... future people on this planet will one day ask themselves "where people living back in 2010-2020 crazy!?"

  • I say we put them on a fly and dump them over usa.... fucking coming pollutin our country....

  • @clarkcolt45 yOU ARE CORRECT. THE COMMUNIST system is still based on MONEY. The dickensian life many chinese are forced to live in is the same greed and exploitation, that the capitalist elites, operate in the WEST.Capitalism and communism use the same EVIL SOURCE OF MONEY, to operate their systems. When I saw this vid I could see how machines could dispose of this waste without only a samll amount of human labour involved, THEN they woud be safe fron the toxins, in the processes .

  • Why do people need to get a new phone every year?? Just because you they it's free does not mean you have to. Personally I never replace a product that's perfectly fit for its purpose, and I'd rather not waste time learning to use a new product when I am already fully familiar with my existing (working) one. However I blame retailers for offering free phones to morons.

  • China is a huge dump...

  • Chip House is big source of junks

  • It looks like there's a good business right there if only the government would heavily regulate it.

  • how the chinese government love their people

  • @tomyweekend

    what about the West? WE send this trash to China, we are to blame in the first place.

  • @prilstrudel We are not the only ones responsible for this. The governments of these countries are the ones who are supposed to look after the welfare of their own people.

  • @prilstrudel True, but China also generates a big pile of shite for themselves. I am studying in China and it makes me sad that the Chinese want to copy the decadent ways of the West, which is basically the wrong thing to copy. Only a few decades ago China was an extremely beautiful place; now it's a big shithole.

  • @manueldaman

    I'm sad to hear that. Best wishes to you there!

  • china has been an impoverished shithole for the last 100 years you dumb fuck.

  • @NJRocks281 No need for that type of comment. China has been an impoverished shithole and still is in many places, but that does not mean it's a good idea to copy us westerners because we have made too many mistakes. Peronally I would like to see China teach everybody a lesson regarding environmental policy.

  • How the hell is china going to teach anyone a lesson you idiot, the majority of the worlds most popluuted cities are in China, china is the most polluted country on earth. They are a newly industrialized country.

  • @NJRocks281 I said I would like to see China teach us all a lesson. It doesn't mean I expect it to happen any time soon.

  • so basically your blabbing about nothing

  • @NJRocks281 You are very rude and vulgar, but I forgive you. Have a nice day mate.

  • @manueldaman Couldn't agree more with you :\ sadly.

  • Peoples lifes, before peoples profit.

  • funny, first the people of the third world get looted of their ressources and than they get the trash back. what a great system we have. its the system of a psychopath.

  • @WolYou well then shut up, get off the "blood computer", and do something about it hippie

  • people demand nothing. its the corporations who are talking people into demands. this is an entirely absurde system of production and consumption for absolutely nothing except making some few people richer.

  • Many of counterfeit component suppliers in flea markets of china are affiliated to ERAI, BROKERFORUM, ICSOURCE, NETCOMPONENTS.

    ERAI ( Kristal snider ,Mark Snider ) provide inspection and escrow services for export merchandise of known counterfeits which includes military , aviation grade fakes.

  • whoa I can't imagine that 16 year old like girl doing this kind of thing

  • I don't get why the racist comments here. I can't bear watching ppl suffering, let alone throwing "insects/animal"---isn't that the same attitude our ancestors shipped slaves way back when?

    Anyway, we paid an electronic waste fee in CA when buying new item. I often wonder where the recycling job were. We complained no jobs and championed clean energy. We do have the ability/intelligence to do it better here and create jobs and show the world we are indeed better than others.

  • theyre just assholes. theres lots of them out there.

  • I can't believe the racist comments?!....Do U want your OWN kids working/ iving in such dump? I can't bear watching this seeing how ppl suffer, let alone commenting as if life is just insects/animals---the same attitude our ancestors shipped slaves way back when

    Anyway, we paid an electronic waste fee in CA when buying an item, but I wonder where the recycling jobs were. We have the ability/intelligence to do it. We do need jobs here, & it'll show we're REALLY a better/civilized race doing so.

  • Wow, that's upsetting, I guess one solution would be to go for laptops instead of desktops that have more material inside of them.

  • @jaymorpheus01

    desktops are easier to repair as faulty parts can be removed or upgraded individually , this is much less likely with a laptop.
