WOW!!!!
to either how people here are so easily fooled,
or to how “prisoners” in China can wear whatever they want or take a nap whenever they want to.

no matter weither the people are in prison or not.

Big buisnesses are getting richer every day by exploiting these people.

I beleive that freedom as a peasant is better than 14h shifts barely paid under 1 dollar a day ( if not weeks).

If you live there, you know what these pictures depict. The depict people who are working in factories where it is cramped, far from home, and there are thousands packed into factories to work. Not forced to work absent of their own will, but forced to work there because of their own economic struggles. Being far from home and away from loved ones is not fun. Not having enough money to live somewhere is not fun so you have to find somewhere to sleep. Food distribution by the company if supplied would require orderly lines to provide orderly distribution. Order is a big priority.

Great photos,
especially the portraits.
Can I ask where this prison is and how you got in there?
Keep up the amazing work!

First of all, do your research before questioning these photos. They are merely documented proof of the labor force China offers.

But, there pay regardless of the currency exchange value is poor. They are normally forced to work long hours (the minimum is normally 60 per week.) They must work silently, and if they live in a dorm situation are normally faced with overcrowding and dirty accommodations.

Yes there are many people. but this institution of low-pay foreign labor force causes the destruction of many American based jobs.

Eventually things will change, you can merely take note of it through the looking glass.

So many misinformed comments, all it does is spread lies and hate mongering.

The source is: _http://www.mazm.com/2007/09/19/38.toys-manufacture-in-china-25-pics.html which clearly shows it’s a toy factory.

I’ve written extensively about Chinese factories in the China beat blog and these factories are standard. There have been of course many factories in China that had deplorable working conditions but as economic conditions improve so do their standards. I would say this factory is on the slightly better end of working conditions with the majority of factories in China less “good looking”.

Most of these labourers are migrant workers that have chosen to leave their rural farming villages to work in factories so they may earn more money than they would back in the rice fields.

Contracts are signed to work for a period of time, usually from 6 month to a few years and these migrant workers are not slaves as some have mentioned. They are provided free meals with housing, some crowded some not, depending on the factory.

You might think they work for a few cents a day but most factory workers earn a few dollars a day, which still might seem unbelievable to others but you have to take into account that in other countries living costs are much more different. A few dollars a day is a general improvement from what they made back in their village, hence why they come in droves to work in factories.

There are of course numerous Chinese factories that are deplorable but you should not generalize that as indicative of the entire Chinese manufacturing base. Knowledge can go a long way to understanding!

Hey – its Mickey Mouse and Sponge Bob. But are those legally licensed products or illegal copies?

This is LIKE being in prison. It’s not actually prison and these people are not criminals. They are just stuck in a difficult position needing to work in deplorable conditions just to make ends meet.

An OBVIOUSLY fraudulent accusation followed by so many ignorant comments here. Den and some others are right. This is NOT prison. Not even ‘like’ a prison. Who in their right mind would think a prison in China would outfit the prisoners in blue jeans, white jeans, sandals, and sneakers shown in some of the photos? How stupid can people be? Like here, prisoners wear uniforms over there. You’ve been duped. – - – I repair factory machinery and having worked in factories both in the US and China I can tell you that the conditions in the factory depicted are BETTER than some factories in the US. – There are companies here in the US that expect 70-80 hours a week out of you or you get fired. They make it look like something else but that’s the truth of it. Okay, so OSHA would have a fit over that factory [specifically the chair on chair photo], but what company here is going to give it’s workers a free hot cooked lunch just to make sure they have one good meal a day? – - You people need to look at what happens in THIS country before you go criticizing others. AND DON’T BE SO GULLIBLE!

stupid yankee, it were pictures of a toy factory in 90s . i had been a worker there.

We’re hurting ourselves more by outsourcing jobs. Look at the unemployment rate. It wouldn’t be so high if we did the jobs ourself.

i think it’s real… check out this article for reference.

“forced labor products”
prison with cooperation or establish joint ventures with foreign investors

What a passel of morons. – This is clearly from a lying wannbe news reporter playing of stupid people and the WOW factor. – If it were a prison they wouldn’t be wearing civilian street clothing. – It shows a line of people showing up to work in the morning. – Two free meals during a work day would be pretty awesome. I’ve never got more than one meal break a day and I had to pay for it. – One poster WORKED THERE and told you this story is BS. – And Herbs, if you think money in your pocket justifies abusing people by avoiding things like OSHA Safety Standards then I suggest you move to China and enjoy the world you willingly helped create out of greed and self interest. [Safety Standards at the work place are one place China still needs to improve.]
