True, but there is another reading.
A friend of mine once worked for a company that performed engineering tasks with a chinesse associate in Asia. He once ran the numbers because he was sure he could save a ton of money and issues by replacing chinesse workers by machines. It turns out he was utterly wrong.
Those workers didn't protest, didn't strike, didn't complain, their equipment was inexpensive. It turns out replacing 20 guys with a helmet, wheelchart and shovel each by a single guy with a heavy vehicle wasn't a sound decision at all.
I think in the long run Chinesse workers will see their living standards raise. In fact some say China is starting to see the begining of this crisis. This is probably one of the reasons why the Uniparty there has started pushing for traditional family models in order to have a woman take care of the kids while the man works outside.
