You posted a story about the dangers of a free market economy operating without sufficient government regulation to prevent abuse of workers from unsafe working conditions -- the same abuses that took place in the United States in an earlier era -- that does indeed reflect a central challenge. Not communism. Not excessive government, but good old fashioned capitalist greed is taking its toll on China and its poorest citizens.
