So all the communism in China is for teh benefit of capitalist West!! wow - India and other countries should now add an additional anti dumping duty on Apple products and make that profiteering company go bankrupt. Apple would pretty much be aware in this even though they may parrot it is the reponsibility of Foxconn.
Slavery of the Capitalism, who says slavery doesn't exist, this is new form of slavery. back in the day it was British, used all possible means. now Americans tycos.
Its quite funny to see some posters here comparing the Chinese factory workers to Indian IT guys..there is truly no comparison. The chinese are extremely hard workers and unfortunately are being exploited here under a totalitarian regime. In contrast our Indian IT guys are mostly lazy bums who just keep demanding salary hikes year after year. Most of them anyways are on bench either lounging in cafeterias or playing silly video games. May be its time to outsource them to China and then we will see how these guys deal with HR deparments

If you are an Indian you will understand the difference between Hard work and Smart work. If we werent Smart workers then we would have ended up with similar faith of Chinese. The only difference between Indians and Chinese is Brain usage and we take pride in being Brain power of the world.
Most of the places HR is only name sake and the HR people dance to the tunes of chief.They have given up thinking and always in for pleasing the boss who governs and dictates their future . The pity is they do not even put forward the right views . Now after signing a pact what if he commits a suicide - his family will not get compensation that'sit - who are going to suffer .World over it is only on paper that slaveery does not exists but in reality it does.Contries like India where the majority and a big majority is not economicallyu sound (After all the looting by politicians and bureaucrata) a common man has nothing but to obey.Unions - the leaders are there to loot and do nothing . So keep doing stupid things that is the right of people in power.
outsourcing is not done unless the profit margins can be maintained/inflated. Populated countries like china with established infrastructure and availability of cheap/desperate labour allow blue chip companies to maintain their profit margins. India may not have apple as one of the comments mentioned. But the ready made industry is no different where in hell holes cheap labour sweat it out. One could also remember the kind of police brutality against workers in the Honda Manufacturing in unit in Gurgaon, if i remember correctly. Once the country sells its soul to the World Bank/ IMF and signs the dotted line, there is no going back. Farmers committing suicide because the Bt Cotton crop failed dramatically is another case. So all these "educated" people who make a living out of MNCs should very well know that they too are cheap labour!

You just missed a point do you know how much the money gets transfered for out sourcing job to the people who out source - it is all black and may even be stashed in foreign banks No records and no documentation - it is like mafia.
