<sarcasm> Immoral? What are you, a dirty socialist *? Them Chinese have the cheapest labour and the happiest, most plentiful consumers on the planet. You got a problem with money, bro? </sarcasm>
Serves them (Apple) right. It’s a dirty and unfair world, but Apple made the choice to do business with these authoritarians. * I like the term “authoritarianism” better, because that’s what most acquisitive types seem to mean when they speak of “socialism”. Socialism, of course, is no bad thing, and need not be incompatible with capitalism. China is a favourite destination because, basically, unfair trade is the norm; indeed, it actually symbolises the very worst of laissez-faire capitalism. Who are we to complain that China has the cheapest labour, while advocating an aggressive policy of neoliberalism for ourselves? -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
