This is huge throughout southeast Asia as well...Toy manufacturers in China....all that plastic shit you buy at Walmart is from the blood sweat and tears of those who live on less than $100 USD per month in Dormitories of people stacked 12 to a room....Slave labor...not new to humanity....just still continuing thanks to consumerism...

Every race of people exploits their own people; some more visibly than others. You have to understand when you're living in absolute poverty, where many of your government officials are corrupt and access to good paying jobs or even schools is impossible, you're forced to do whatever you can to survive. Your comment is ignorant and you should apologize to the human family immediately.
