The China State forces the manufactures to cut costs? No. Definitely not. China is going to follow the road of free economy, which means that, the supply and demand rocks and counts in the market. The higher you set the price, the lower the quantity transacted is, and vise versa. (Knowing the PRC government fames itself for following the communism / socialism, I feel that, following this road is quite sarcastic)

I dont' believe all of this. The government has their hands in everything over there. The degree of control is what is in question. I'm sure a ton of pressure is put on these guys to perform, which results in questionable product like this. Yes, the CEO has most control (has to for somewhat of a free market to operate), but he obviously has his hands tied to some degree. I think I have a video on this subject that I can cut out and upload if you want to watch.

The one responsible are the CEO of cross-country coperations. They offer low prices to the factory owners, so that they can earn every single penny possible and gain the lion share! No sooner did a problem arise then they put the blame on those innocent workers.

No doubt since killing a lot of workers looks bad when you can execute one CEO. This is an act of self preservation. The government won't kill all the workers, but for the CEO, that is a different story.

Imagine you buy a barbie doll for $10, but a major part, like $9.5 goes to the retailers' pockets. Only $0.5 goes to the factory. In this way, notwithstanding the low input by capital, the factory can't ensure the quality of the good provided that, can they? Before you blame anyone, please look at the full part of the story. Is it justice to blame someone just because you've read part of the story?

Actually it is the factory that is at fault, so your answer is completely wrong. If you understand anything about business, they took the bid to build the product at a certain price, and if they cannot build it at the price the bid, then they cannot build it for the price they said they could. What you have here is the factory cutting dangerous corners to meet the price they bid when they couldn't normally meet it. This is 100% - not one percent less - This is 100% the factory's fault! 'No' one else is at fault.

Furthermore, as what I've said, poisoning the customer is the perfect way to wand them off. That we won't do it if the input via those coperations, is a fact.

Not if you get away with it. This is what a lot of China is doing - getting away with it, since only a few are caught.

Selfish as she is, American government won't tell you this part of story. But I think you should have the right to know this important, yet omitted part.

Selfish has nothing to do with it. It is the Chinese CEO's, factories, and government that are the ones being selfish to endanger children for the sake of $$$.

PS. This is like me saying that - "I had to sicken and kill this child because I needed to make more profit". Sorry - I don't buy that.
