>>How about slavery? Would that motivate you?<< There are slavery right here in the US! and as a matter of fact, it is worse than slavery. At least 'slavery" in China got paid, enough for their food and shelters. But plenty of sweat shops here in NYC, L.A., among other big cities, those poor immigrants, often times illegal, could not even get paid after almost a month of 14-hrs./day work of sewing clothing. The reason? because those sweatshop owners moved right before their salary is due. Every single year, there are >20,000 case in each of those big cities, and the state labor dept. could not do anything since they could not find those sweatshop owners. They changed their names every time after moving. So go and buy those so-called "made in USA"! Some of them are even dirtier and bloodier than the clothes made in China!! Not to mention, whether I stayed in China, or here, I would always be a professional, a so-called skilled labor. so your point is NO point for me. >>China has slave labor, comprised of prisoners picked up for a variety of offenses,<< So are the US! the slave labor or prison labor in the US NOT AT ALL cleaner than those in China! period! I know a brand of jeans sort of famous in South Asia, made by the US prisoners, paid 50 cents/hr. Sounds like Slavery enough for me!
