Migrant Workers - China

June 2006Over two hundred million migrants work illegally in China. They power China's economic growth but are condemned to a life in the shadows. On the outskirts of the new Shanghai live those who build it. "My life here consists only of work. I do nothing else", states Kejun. He comes from one of the poorest Chinese provinces but was forced to move to the city to find a job. Now, he works 7 days a week and sees his wife and child for only one day a year. "It's unbearable to leave our children behind." It's illegal for the rural population to move to the cities but the economy is so dependent on cheap labour that this rule is often ignored. Vulnerable and under constant threat of exposure, migrant workers are easily exploited. "Their lives are very tough", states NGO worker May Wong. "They are always discriminated against."

How the heck can the west criticise China so much?Just because the west advanced in their industralisation and China lacked behind because of the colonisation era now western countries got an advantage over us, and now you're using your lifestyle as a guideline of human rights?!Look at it! China lacked behind is because you lot mobbed and colonised us in the 20th century! Now you blame us for we being "not at your level"?

China 1 child only applied to Han Chinese, it does not applied to the Minority chinese, the Minority chinese can have as much baby as they want, but the Han are far more richer than minority chinese and when they want more than 1 child they have to pay a fee to have 2 child and if Han chinese want 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 child then the fee will continue.

Also I think you've been harassed by the police during the making of this video because you didn't get a permit.I wouldn't say this video is seriously biased,but there are some inaccurate parts.

"It's illegal for the rural population.."I think this is true maybe 20 years ago, not in 2005. There are certain paper works these migrant works have to go through to legally stay for a relatively long time in a city. Also you won't get into jail because you buy a ticket from a black market. The seller may get into jail though.

I was raised in a chinese family and my father always tell me that peasants of china are the most honest, hard working people in china. It is the backbone of the economy, China is nothing without them. As far as I'm concerned they still are. I'm sure I'm not the only chinese that thinks this way.

Chinese parents are so caring for their children, my family is a middle class, when I was young, my dad and mum always force me to study so much and stuff, now I understand they want me to have a better future, they said the poor family want their children to have better life and eat better but they just dont hav enuf money to give them education, thats y they work 24/7 with very low pay,

The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
