    Oh you have no idea, in China, they study advanced mathematics, english, piano, and chinese since kindergarten, and in primary school they learn high school algebra and algorithms and science, studying at lunchtime, after schools extra classes, visit tutors, get home at 8pm, and finish loads of homework, weekends they pursue their hobby such as art and music, for the entirety of their childhood. Not some self righteous spoilt piece of shit from the US of A who knows not where they are on a map.

    Those Chinese kids you see here are probably collage graduate with masters degree in electronics and engineering who earns less money than some alcoholic working in McDonalds in the US, they sacrificed their childhood studying their ass off, earning themselves a future, while making high quality affordable goods and having some fool with half of their intellect talk shit based on the 1970s propaganda, get down from your golden chair in the sky and actually work half as hard as they do.

    $14 a day is middle income in China which is why these jobs are highly coveted. think about it, over 1 billion people on this planet only live on $1.25 a day. as odd as it seems, these are good jobs for Chinese

    The Chinese economy is not growing fast enough. With over 1 billion Chinese citizens, for China's quality of life and median income to be the same as the USA, they would need an economy that is about x10 as large as the USA.

    i got a new ipad 4 months ago... and THIS is where it was made.

    huh.....poor them..only $14. such a pity. they should be paid more.

    this is real life proof that you would do anything to earn money for a living.

    but isn't China's economy growing fast?
