| I don't know what the conditions are at other Chinese

| and from work, paid vacations, and retirement.  The average 
| worker has the same purchasing power of a worker doing 
| similar work here.  The actual dollar amount is less, but the 
| everything is a LOT cheaper in China.  Any worker that wants 
| to is free to seek work somewhere else, nobody forces anybody 
| to work where they don't want to.
