Another Foxconn story... YAY....

Seriously, and this may sound incredibly harsh, but I have very little sympathy for anyone who commits suicide, (people with mental issues are an exception) there are always options and alternatives that could be explored. Simple answer, suicide is a way out for cowards who are not willing to face the problems that life throws at them.

There is no way that Foxconn is the only employer in China, and that there are no options.

Simply put China's economy is booming, there is still a massive emphasis on manafacturing, and I am pretty sure that manafacturing plants are ten a penny in China,. e.g if you don't like Foxconn, go work in another factory, likewise the big cities are going through a construction boom, construction jobs are not highly skilled, and pretty much any male could get into that industry.

But you know what, in reality, no matter what field you work in in China, unless you are one of the pigs that is more equal than the others, you are going to have to work hard, and there are not going to be state handouts, but you don't see the population of China committing suicide on masse,

Oh and if you really think China is an unhappy place, just go visit it, see how people interact on the street, with strangers and those who they know, go find out how truly unhappy it is there, because I tell you what, for all the harping on about suicide and the (still very unnaceptable) censoring or everything and human rights issues, China is still one hell of a happy country, its just a few incidents that make the news here.
