As a Chinese Canadian I find that this is unacceptable. China needs to have rights for their people, sure its overcrowded, but you don't treat them like animals by having them work overtime and giving them low wages. Hopefully in the years to come, democracy will be able to come alive in China and the Chinese people can have their freedom of speech and have their right to vote for their government.

I agree - the citizens need to have a little more 'hey, what's in it for me?' attitude - and realize that no one should have to see their own kid twice a year and live apart from their husband in some crappy dorm with a sheet for a wall just so the rich in China can get richer

I stopped shopping at wal-mart after I saw 'the high cost of low prices' documentary, but then I realized most of the shit at kmart was from China too - there's no place to get anything not made in China - unless you have big big bucks, which I don't, so basically I'm too poor to have ethics

Enough of slavery around of the world for one and only goal to make one country super rich and other poor. Why all these American and EU countries dont manufacture back home and employing their own people, providing them jobs and instead they r traveling far from home to play global game? Its a sickness of GREED and not having enough, its a poison of feeling power, which degrades human life to lesser value than animals. Something is terribly wrong here, if USA want to help world do it other way.

@PRCForever Hell, if I made $40,000 a year I would live like a king and I am living in the U.S. but the conditions in China are far better then they was 60 to 70 years ago. But in this day in age us americans need to stop worrying about how other people live and start worrying how we are going to be living if our economy doesn't get better.

@seanus2008

Purchasing from Wal-Mart IS good ethics. You are supporting people over there. As heard in the youtube video she makes a fortune compared to where she was.

Look at it this way, it would be as if you made $100k/year and people were looking at you who made 10X as much, they would think that you were living in terrible conditions. It's all about perspective.

All I can say is I'm glad I don't live in China. I feel sorry for these people - they have no real freedom, no recreation time like we do in the west. What a fucking hole.

The US has a far greater wealth gap than China. Is it fair for me to work for e.g General Motors for 40 000USD a year when my CEO is making 100s of millions?

You should 1stly look at where some of these people come from and realise only 30 years ago 99% of the population was living far worser conditions than her.

Now 50%+ of the population live far better than her.

According to Economics theory, "there can be no equal economic prosperity". Either some get rich OR NONE get rich

haha

dude... if u stop buying Made in China, ALL these ladies in the video will lose their jobs and move back to their farms and earn 1 dollar a month rather than 1 dollar a day now.

You CAN NOT use the US currency's minimum wage to judge China. US prices of goods are simply over inflated compared to Chinese goods.

e.g a bag of rice in China costs 3-4 Yuan (0.6USD). However a bag of rice in the US will cost 5-6USD (30 Yuan)
