Great story about starting a new business. Also a great story about China.

I found it interesting how in the photos, many of the "factories" look like little more than junkyards or disaster areas, and how many of the people working in them looked like teenagers or possibly even children. That plus all the shady dealings going on may explain at least in part how China is able to manufacture so many things so cheaply compared to the US. Shameful.
