Can you give any specific examples of sweatshop (or worse) conditions in factories making specific hifi products, or do you just assume every single manufacturing plant in China uses the equivalent of slave labor?
Have knowledge regarding the wages/work conditions at facilities manufacturing Jolida, Mystere, Primaluna, Line Magnetic, Melody, Eastern Electric?
I'm no apologist for China, and they sure as hell have a lotta catching up to do. But automatically assuming *everything* made there sucks, and/or *all* workers in China are treated like slaves doesn't make sense to me.
