wow..that's horrible!

[yoMAMA]

yeah...

makes you wonder about what goes behind the 10% annual economic growth...

[Golden Monkey]

Massive population + massive rural and urban poverty + remote elite controlling production to maximize investment and profit + controlled press = exploitation.

Basic math.

Tip of the Chinese iceberg.

Unfortunately rule of law in China isn't totally established and controlled by the CCP and many local officials are allowed to run amok in their own little kingdoms and making business ventures their bedfellows and stuff like this happens. Transparency is still very low. This is gonna be the huge challenge for the government.
