I do not own a flat screen, in fact that particular item will help me address your bewilderment as to what I have meant.
There is a nasty little gas that is required for the manufacture of flat screens...it is called nitrogen triflouride. Did you ever wonder rogue if it were possible that the rest of the world has looked upon China as a big factory where the pollution and the labor laws would not have to be dealt with?
In fact that is just one factor enriching China's bottom line. But almost every other none 1st world country is dealing with the same problems. China is doing what it deems necessary to keep people employed.
Of course the flip side of all this is teh West is mortgaginf it's future on China's ability to produce.
As you mention Labor Laws, when I first worked there they were neer enforced, now though they are starting to become enforced far more rigidly
Those electronic components that China polluted the environment to make are then shipped back to China in order to strip any precious metals from them thereby further polluting the environment.
And....who is making the lions share of money out this ? Western companies
maybe you should start boycotting them. In fact did you boycot buying
American made goods due to the illegal war in Iraq ? In my mind China plays the part of the global village idiot that will do anything for attention.
Hmm well many people say the same of America during the 8 years of the Bush administration. I guess each to there own.
I can assume though from your comments you hvae never been to China and have a very limited grasp of what the country and its people are all about.
