My point exactly, the workers at these factories are priviledged. You can fool people who don't know -- but you won't fool someone who understands the system.

When I came to China for the first time, the wages were less than 100. Yes, Foxconn charge for meals. Just for your info -- I had factory meals, not management meals, many times. Not great, but decent. How many farmers in China that do not work at Foxconn, or those that work at a local factory for 900 would love to have meals like that? The same meal would cost at least RMB 20 outside.

I take pity on those who died. Demonizing the wrong people (and a whole production system) won't bring them back. Neither you nor I know why they killed themselves, you are just assuming it was over working conditions.
it is not assuming,their posthumous letters were publicated.

4000 yuan? are you joking? even the Chinese propaganda xinhua news agency confessed the average salary is around rmb1900-2500. yours is higher .
