We have zombies, you have zombies; We are growing, you are not.

Child sweat shops, bonded labour and other dire work conditions are an acute part of Subcontinents economy, hence criticizing any one else is like pot calling the kettle black.

This is how most of the production lines are run.
Heard about Suzuki or Toyota production line in India?

Yeah half of our children are starving and we got more poor than the entire Africa combined......oh wait.

So abundant labor resources will no longer be an advantage for the miraculous development of China's.

Labour cost is only part of the equation. Infrastructure, skilled labour, political stability and education also play major parts. That's why even our poorest province is richer than your entire country combined. You're like a homeless beggar laughing at a man for only having half a million in the bank.

Riots Break Out at Foxconn Factory in China: Report

Reports early Monday from China suggest that a mass disturbance or riots may have broken out at a Foxconn factory in the Chinese city of Taiyuan.


It is still unclear what exactly happened, but posts on China’s popular twitter-like service, Weibo, from users in the area show photographs and video of large numbers of police in and around the factory – many in riot gear – blocking off throngs of people.

Other photos show debris strewn around the Foxconn compound and in one case, an overturned guard tower.

According to popular tech blog engadget, the disturbance kicked off after Foxconn security guards allegedly hit a worker around 10 p.m. on Sunday.

Censors in China have reportedly already started deleting pictures from the scene.

This is not the first time that Foxconn has had problems with its Taiyuan facility, which is reportedly responsible for the fabrication of the back plate of the immensely popular new Apple [AAPL 700.095 1.395 (+0.2%) ] iPhone 5. In March, strikes broke out there after workers did not receive a pay raise they had reportedly been promised.

Meanwhile, Foxconn’s Chengdu plant in Sichuan province also has dealt with riots. In June, scores of Foxconn workers there got into a fight with a local restaurant owner that had to be broken up by police.

Foxconn is the Taiwanese electronics manufacturer responsible for much of the current production and assembly of Apple’s popular line of products as well as a wide variety of popular tech toys ranging from laptops to gaming consoles.

But Foxconn has been under fire for years for its tough working conditions, including long hours, low wages and strict rules on representation. The company has also dealt with a string of suicides at its plants across China, which led to the company in 2010 installing anti-jump nets to prevent more suicide attempts.

The company has taken steps to improve working conditions in its factories by reducing work hours and raising wages for its front-line workers.

Still, perhaps wary of the continued negative publicity that has plagued one of its primary manufacturers over the years, Apple recently took steps to diversify its portfolio of producers, recently awarding much of the manufacturing of its new iteration of the iPad to another Taiwanese company, Pegatron.
