I Read the article China's workers strike back by Duncan Hewitt in Newsweek. It talked about recent protests in China from the workforce. They demanded a payraise after, hearing that profits from companies like Honda were at a hi. It has led to some suicide and (not kept) promises of Double wages. What has made things worse, for these big companies, is China's One child policy which has eliminated a big youth workforce. It is crazy, they make on $135 a month which is the same as what I would make babysitting after three 5 hour days. I chose this article, because it seemed interesting. I think that it is ridiculous that the workers in China get payed that little, but at the same time, it makes me wonder what exactly their standard of living is. Is it actually possible to live in China on $135 a month?
