Chinese workers pay a price for no Labor Unions.

Nor has anyone been able to support the idea that No Unions = Suicide. While I'm sure that the work envrionment that I enjoy is worlds ahead of anything the Tiwanese workers at the Foxconn factory endure, I don't think the addition of a union will solve all their ills.

My pay and work conditions is not only a result of 150 years of union battle, the general changes in society and wealth have an influence too. :)

I don't think China is really ready for real unions. They would just be another state organ.

For the record, Taiwanese workers in Taiwanese-owned factories on the mainland generally have high positions at the factory, and generally have much better working conditions.

No! Don't look behind the curtain! China is the best nation on earth and has NEVER done anything wrong!

If you notice, only the people who make money off the Chinese workers argue that China is fine. Wonder why that is?

No-one actually said that.
 
I make money off of the chinese by getting cheaper goods and I'm hugely in favor of us forcing better labor conditions for them.
 
I make no money off of China. All I did was spend two years studying the nation as a part of my History Minor.

They have their issues, sure. But they are not evil.

I work in America -- but do not make more if you love this government or not. I am as patriotic an individual as you are likely to encounter.

America is a good nation. But we are not without our flaws.

China != America/England/The West. They have issues we cannot fathom; just as we have some they would not want to deal with. As a whole, they are doing what they can.

But... no issue China faces will be solved by adding a labor union to the mix; very few would even be improved; many others would even be exacerbated.

imho, ymmv, yadda yadda yadda...

Isn't that what a union is -- an organized group of workers who work together to improve their working conditions? A rose by any other name is still is still the same.

What's another name for a bond-servant?

Go around your house and find 10 items you've bought in the last 2 years over $10, look on the bottom and see where they were made.

I think there are several reasons why the Chinese are outproducing other countries. Here is what I think is a big reason:

So, you're ignoring the last 4 pages of this thread, and just reposting the same link you started the thread with? Colour me unsurprised.
 
Whoops, the above got put in the wrong thread, I meant to put it in the politics forum in the Trump thread, oh, well, I'll do that now.
