    Well, why don't you go down to your local pizza joint and say that you only want 50 cents per hour - guess that you may get a job
    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

      I can't tell if he's trolling or retarded.

Plus it does create local jobs and the exports do earn foreign exchange which helps banks doing business in the country. Could it be better? Sure, the work could be done by locals instead of Chinese (and it should be) but let's not pretend it isn't helping to develop the country.
          There's more to development than just economics. The Chinese don't say "boo" to the local governments regarding human rights. The local govs like it as they can continue abusing and the Chinese of course live in a glass house. Mutually beneficial.
