Workers riot at Chinese toy factory

They should have rioted when they were paid fifty cents an hour and forced to live in the factory. American workers should have rioted when that happened, as well.

US Workers RIOT at Slinky and Barbie factories? Not a frigging chance.

They might “party ‘til they’re worn-out”, but RIOT? Doubt it.

... the central government recently signed off on a multibillion-dollar stimulus plan.

Would that be, maybe, $800 for each American consumer, so we can keep on buying their cheap sh!t?

If the economy really goes to hell in China, the CCP is going to have to stir up some Chinese Nationalism against a foreign country as a diversion.

They better be carefull. The chinese authorities will put the lead intended for the toys into the workers.

[unspun]

Santa's elves are rioting.

What is the world coming to?

[farlander]

Not clear that’d save their ass.

You know, all China really has to do is sell US Bonds on the same day the US Treasury has its next fire sale, and undercut the price by a couple of percent.

The next day, the US government won’t make payroll.

The chinese authorities will put the lead intended for the toys into the workers.

Not clear that’d save their ass.

It is traditional, though.

And China goes to hell as well.

Mutual assured destruction.

[patton]

Do they? For how long?

I gaurantee you, they have done the math.

Should have unleashed some hell:

If China takes down our economy, they’ve lost their #1 customer.

If we stop buying their junk, the Chinese workers will revolt en masse after they lose their jobs and begin to starve again.

[cripplecreek]

Sounds like cutting off the American money train might be the best way to bring china to it’s knees.

[patton]

Well, a rational government would look for something for all those 1.4 billion screaming chinamen to do.

Like produuce steel for, I don’t know, war materiel or something.

I’ve been saying for years that Wal-Mart Buyers will be the ones to bring down communism in China. Wal-Mart is brutal when it comes to negotiating prices and they don’t care if their suppliers survive because they will just find some other sucker to make the products at the price they want to pay. Wal-Mart will bleed the Chinese Government dry paying subsidies to Wal-Mart suppliers.

Dipped in melamine too.

But last month, one of Dongguan's biggest toy factories shut down, laying off 7,000 workers who protested in the streets for days demanding unpaid wages. The plant made toys for Hasbro and Mattel Inc.

Good to see that the makers of GI Joe and Barbie are starting a revolution in China....
