That means you haven't heard about the new, very strict labor laws that went into effect January 1st, 2008? And you haven't heard that while 10 years ago a worker bringing a complaint against a factory would have been told to just shut up and take it, now the vast majority of claims (and in quite a few cases even frivolous claims) that workers bring against factories regarding pay or working conditions are being decided in favor of the workers? I even see images that remind me of the US. Lawyers stalking workers at factory gates: "do you want to bring a complaint against your employer, I can make you lots of money".
Where do these "journalists" come up with all that stuff that you guys are reading and eagerly accept at face value?
