| 1234782 | 2011-09-30 21:10:00 | Yep ... can remember an piece done by 20/20 (or similar) regarding this after a number of employees of a big electronics company in Shenzhen jumped off the roof. Pretty damn sad really when you think your new iPhone ... or other electronics, may have cost a life. | SP8's (9836) | ||

Walmart says we are going to order xxx containers, but the price we offer is 5% less than last year. The Chinese have no optiion but to accept it. If they can't sell huge bulk in the USA they cant sell anywhere else. |
