A horrifying and unreported aspect of the drive for the best in electronics is the role that Chinese imperialism has to play. I read the following story, and noted how similar it sounded to the horror stories from the Industrial Revolution and radical Imperialist times (especially the Belgian involvement in Africa). Take a moment to read this, and note that, just at in Dubai, there is a dark back-story to much of what we buy or use in the Western world. The question is, how complicit are our corporations, the shareholders, the purchasers?
