An article in todays Sunday Globe (see link below) tells of the 40,000 Chinese workers, making around $96 per month, who will have arms, hands, and or fingers crushed or severed by machinery! Please read the article, once you understand how these people are treated I think you will re-think on buying ANYTHING made in China! (Now you can understand how Xindax sells direct for so cheap!)
The last two paragraphs sums it up.
"Some workes would prefer to die because their parents would get a larger one-time compensation...."
"There's a popular saying now: We can afford to die, but we can't afford to be injured."
My heart goes out to these people..........
