In this case, China's. This article i think isn't just about apple. Its probably the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
Do people ever pause to wonder why EVERYTHING IS MADE IN CHINA? Cheap labor with a strong work ethic, and little to no labor laws that protect the employees.
In other words China is how big corporations love the labor. Work hard, work for peanuts on the dollar, and no annoying laws to deal with. Until China fixes that for themselves, the outlook for their people will never improve. Of course, China is, also, at its core, a communist country, so its highly unlikely the people will change their lives for the better like other industralized nations did long ago. If anyone remembers, while they don't serve much function now, Labor unions were originally formed because of deplorable conditions.
