  • well actually that's how UK, Japan,and Germany come from!!! now China's turn!

  • The problem isn't capitalism. Dangerous working conditions for Chinese existed long before China began introducing limited amounts of Capitalism into its economy.

    The problem has always been is a failure to respect individual rights.

  • @Ksabrs45 hahah oh so true! this is what people do NOT GET. It's better to be working and actually making something. Than to be starving to death. the employee sells his working power to their employers which is the buyer.

  • Did you know that before the reforms, there was no danger, exploitation, or pain? Everyone just starved all the time and had nothing.

  • Every Chinese person should be proud of this lawyer. May he have many children to spread amongst the money worshipers of China (about 98%)

  • *A* right, is what *IS* right - the right way for a society to function, and there is only one way. Only one way that you can outgrow poverty, without living beyond your means so that you must eventually live below it, as so few IF ANY countries are managing today. You never have the right to that which is unaffordable. Only the fundamental rights of peace and sovereignity are always true. All other 'rights' are subject to circumstance, ignoring which, you DO live beyond your means.

  • This is not the way capitalism works. China is just now coming out of complete poverty. What many wrongly call 'rights', are actually a privelage of living in a robust economy. In a fully established economy, where the market has been embraced for more than 10 years for christ's sake, then it becomes profitable to pursue the interests of your own workers, ala Henry Ford. Right now the enterpreneurs are too desperate to afford it, and the workers too desperate to demand it. That changes in time.

  • @1XMarksSpot 3 years later, and I've changed my mind you're right

  • @walaa925 LOL "Heroes" of the revolution's work resulted in 60 million dead Chinese. Shame on the "Heroes"!

  • too many people, to many => low-pad work and easy exploitation....

    fewer people, less suffering

  • If China would allow the yuan to rise, the people would be far more wealthy.

  • @donguinto wrong faggot ass nigga.
