We should stop imposing our western imperialism onto others because we live in completely different world. Those Foxconn workers are being paid much more than if they remain in the countryside. They do send $ back home to support their family.

Viewing from a more appropriate perspective…
One must consider what most people in China earn. Workers at FoxConn probably make more than most people in China. They would probably not be lining up in the hundreds to work if that was not the case. Comparing their wages to those in North America is not valid.

Holy crap … that just seems wrong. Kind of bums me out. I’m a huge Apple fan, but this sucks. Does this salary even come close to meeting the expenses a family incurs? The factory seems clean and I like that they rotate the assembly job workers to avoid boredom, though.
