Made in China

The expression "Made in China" has all sorts of connotations - not all of them positive - on the lips of westerners. I had the opportunity to visit a clothing factory in the outskirts of Shanghai a few weeks ago - one that supplies global retailers that are household names in the US and Europe. This version of "Made in China" is one to be proud of: spacious work stations, well lit and ventilated floors, modern machinery and an air of camaraderie among workers.
