CNN新闻里面报道说Apple著名的ipod是在中国的血汗工厂里面制造出来的。
Apple当然否认并且表示将进行调查。 上文是Apple的调查结果。
在中国血汗工厂的存在是绝对合乎情理的，在现在的中国
资本家可以任意地奴役和剥削工人，增加劳动时间，降低工资和福利待遇。
没有任何他们需要遵守的规则，政府是资本家一伙是勿容置疑的。

我没有仔细地看全文，不过我发现一个关键字Foxconn，这个制造商在中国
几乎就是血汗工厂的代名词。所以我相信CNN和其他媒体的?光，我不相信
一个工厂是血汗工厂，它在做ipod的时候工人会得到特别的“优厚待遇”。

一直很喜欢apple的产品，但是如果一个产品是从这样的工厂出来的，那么
我不会去买它。ipod,或者mac book.

翻译成英文，这样更多人可以了解知道中国现状的人对此事的看法。并且希望
Apple可以取消对Foxconn这种反人类罪的公司的订单，在经济上遏制血汗工厂。

Recently CNN newsreport had a title saying that Apple's famous ipod was manufatured in
factories with very poor working conditions in China. Those factories also abuses workers
by enforcing long working time, offering low payment, and arbitrarily firing workers. These
factories are thus called "bloody sweat factories"

Apple responsed in the above link saying their investigation showed "only a few faults".
I as a Chinese, know the current situations in China. Nowadays, factory owners do have
chance to abuse workers in China almost without any limitation. The local g-overnment
is on their side because these factories makes profits and tax income for the local g-overnment.
In China , although claimed to me "communist ruled", although there are laws on basic
working condition a factory should provide, there is no actual, practise regulations applied on
factory runners. Thus it is totally not surprising these factories exists and is expanding in China.

When read on, I find a keyword "Foxconn", then I believe what CNN has claimed. Foxconn is
an infamous bloody sweat factory in China with reported records of poor working condition and
abusing workers. There is no reason to believe that in such a "bloody sweat factory" workers will
have better working condition and payment if they are working on Apple's ipod.

I always liked apples product in their good design, but if they are manufactoried in such factory like
Foxconn, I will not buy it. And I hope more people will join me to reject products from such factories.
Also I hope apple will know that and cancel their future orders from those ill reputated factories.

BTW. I also believe that Ch-inese g-overnment is responsible for the appearance and existance of such factories.
