If you don't like it, put your money where your mouth is and stop buying Chinese made products! Have a good look around inside your home and workplace and throw out everything made in China....then try to replace it all with products made elsewhere. What few you can replace will be at least double the price, the vast majority of 'things' you use every day are made in China. This is because you buy them! It is the consumer who has created the rise in Chinese industry with their insatiable quest for cheap products. They are made without Trade Union control over wages, without environmental safe-guards, without safety in the workplace and without compensation for anyone who gets injured or sick. The people in the photos are just trying to earn a living for their families - just like you and me!

I saw a show once where a couple decided to empty their house and sell everything and start over from scratch with only American made products. They had trouble beyond the sofa and tables. I don't think they could find any appliances that were 100% American, they all had some parts that were not. They ended up having to make many compromises and they still ended up with a half-empty house. And that's with the resources of a tv show h,doing them in their search.It's not as easy as you think, especially for the average shopper. And it's not our fault when we go shopping that there's very little available to us made in the U.S. when we produce so little here.

Thanks for readingReply toJohn
There is a dilemma: to buy Chinese made products is to support Chinese workers, but it raises the profits of the global corporations too. BRICS is trying to combat the US - led global corporate exploitation of their countries but the US undermines them (US backed soft coup in Brazil right now, constant about-face lies about "Russian aggression", to allow US / NATO excuses for hostilities - including the US backed coup in Ukraine, attempts to destroy Chinese currency and financial markets and China's warning to Soros to leave them alone). The US want the world to provide it with MORE THINGS and always CHEAPER, while the dollar is heading for failure. European leaders are blackmailed into silence and compliance, because of their ever-growing debt to the IMF, which BRICS is attempting to distance itself from and remain free, sovereign countries.

Don't think for a second that Samsung factories are any different. Most consumer products are made in China in conditions like this or worse.

I hope they get paid well, because they look depressed.

2000 yuan is not enough to get by in Shanghai.

Yes, it amouts to £230 a month. That's fine in rural China but Shanghai has living costs on par with other global cities.

These people are migrant workers coming from the Western provinces of China. If they were at home, they would be farm labourers, working 18 hours a day for a tenth of the pay.Look at the history books. Western Europe had an industrial Revolution - this is China's.

1984 is becoming less a dystopian work of fiction and more an instruction manual for global corporate efficiency.

Big business has made them into cyborgs/machines. They love a compliant worker and they know there are millions more waiting to take the place of any 'faulty' employee.

Apple are far too big and greedy, they have the same mentality as Kim Jong-un towards Western authority. People should think twice before buying their overpriced products.

You are a number...not a name. You must behave like a robot, work like a robot and be grateful for the minuscule pay we give you.
