Chinese made uniforms raise stink in UK: [World News]: London, Nov.22 : Britain's Ministry of Defence (MOD) is facing flak after the surfacing of a report that claims that all Army combat uniforms are being made by Chinese factory women who earn a pound a day for their toil. According to the Daily Mail, about 800 women aged 16 and above, live inside the heavily guarded, environmentally-unfriendly factory complex, working round the clock in stitching up these uniforms. There is no air-conditioning in the factory located near the city of Chongqing - known in Chinese as 'Furnace' because of the heat - and the women endure temperatures higher than 40C in summer. newkerala.com
