China factory workers living quarters

A peak into the lives of China's factory workers, a video I shot for CNN in 2008. Just before chinese new year, snow storms crippled China's transport system. Hundreds of thousands of people camped outside train stations trying to go home. This is a glimpse into the motivation for such determination.

they are make all our Gadgets; cell phones, computers, gaming, electronics etc. sure the CEO's get rich, but WE buy the products!
SHAME on us all ! Republicans? Democrats? No! CONSUMERS!

@shawnspeed3 I don't blame it on any one political party. It is the result apathy and greed around the world on all ends of the political spectrum. The conditions at this factory are nice compared to some factories I saw in South Africa.
The bottom line is, we can not wait around waiting for the status quo to fix imbalances in the world. We must do what we can on an individual level to played our part as global citizens. Too big a gap between rich and poor, producer and consumer.

@newdispensation1 Living conditions are sort of beside the point... they're treated badly for all the work they've done. Would you like to live there?
-
In a counter argument to StAndrewAuckland2010's post, they earn less than minimum wage for working over 12 hours in ONE DAY! Working 10 hours in America, you get 80 or so dollars. Now they should be thanking us?!
-
@veksink yeah but America looks down at these kinds of factories and forgets that people lived like shit here too, still some do. Yeah I know China has been around a lot longer.
-
@kimikittykitty67 china has been around a hell of a lot longer than america...
-
@StAndrewAuckland2010 so because other countries are even worse they should be happy? how about we flip that around and look at the countries that are doing so much better? shouldn't people strive to improve instead of saying "hey some people are doing worse" and just settling?
-
@macroevolve: 250 dollars X 6 = approx. 1500 Yuan. Of course thats not much money, but think about what that can buy in China.
-
all big citys look like that
-
Those living conditions aren't that bad. Stop trying to purpetuate something that isn't there.

It is clear that the reporter has never seen other countries workers' "dormitories" of other countries like Indonesia, Philippine etc. We can say definitively that China's dormitory, with their very simple condition of life, etc, is much better than many other countries. Furthermore The fact that China is able to provide the job to hundreds of million of its people is already athing that we have to appreciated.

This really makes me sad how people are treated around the world...so much suffering to make Walmart's CEO's richer. This should be on the news so something could be done about it. This is what Republicans want in America too-no union, no collective bargaining, etc...they are so cold-hearted and greedy.
