This article has it backwards. These workers don't work is unsafe conditions, _because_ we don't pay them enough. Rather, the economic reality in China means that in order to compete with production elsewhere (e.g. in the US) even a high risk for workers still seems acceptable to them if that means they can get the job. If we would pay more, the jobs would be done elsewhere or by robots and those workers won't be happy about that, either. Still, this is capitalism at its worst, I guess.

I think it is a good thing that wealth is rebalanced between countries, and that these wealth transfer are not UN donations, but the result of commerce and labor.
