China's economic miracle carries a high price.  Most people who work at factories there that make the things people like you and me buy can't afford what they make.  Human rights are non-existent.  The environment is trashed.   While some benefit the vast majority don't.   Alas, the whole world is heading in the direction of totalitarian and toxic Made in China.

lickface says: Though much is made of the fact that they're "Designed in California", land of sun, sand and Hollywood, the majority of Apple's products are actually 'made' in Chinese sweatshops.

The average factory worker at Longhua, China makes roughly $50/month, or $600/year. Out of this, half is deducted by the factory owners for room and board.

Many consider China to be a communist dictatorship, which indeed it is, but it is apparently large enough for another economic structure: Capitalism. These factories represent the 'slavery wing' of the West's capitalist network, and they just happen to be housed in what masquerades as a Communist country. Products produced for slave wages in these far away 'plantations' are then bought and sold on the mainland for inflated prices.
