There are lots of nations that had businesses that used to pay like this. They were among the best jobs available, and helped give people a an alternative to trudging behind a water buffalo.

In those nations, many jobs now pay much more, the next generations have better hope of education, and the manufacturing is much more skilled and high-value.

China’s problem is government, not the fact that the market for labor is cheap.

Unless people are enslaved to take these jobs, I have no problem at all.

I do have a problem with workers living in the factory and making slave wages anywhere in the world. It is not necessary.

Not that I think we should go over there and liberate them, but we shouldn't import their slave-labor made junk. Let them sell it to each other.

These ChiCom slave drivers are the ones buying our debt. Do you want to be beholden to them?

Exactly right. 34 cents an hour is a) the best job going in some places and b) is a living wage. Because the worldwide market for rice is dominated by people earning less than 34 cents an hour.

The people of china *are* slaves to the government. Make no mistake just because they pay you does not make you free..
