Pictorial essay on Chinese workers who make toys - Magda Hassan - 13-12-2012
Pleased I'm not buying these toys. Don't do Christmas and always buy hand made presents by local artists. I do occasionally buy computer and tech stuff which would be made under the same conditions.

I fly R/C Aircraft. I had quit in 1992 and started again in 2008.
When I quit kit planes were the rule manufactured in the US.
Kits were the pre-made parts built by the modeler into a miniature aircraft.
Not a toy - ask any aircraft modeler.
In 2008 there are very few kits available.
Many Many ARF (almost ready to fly) planes are sold.
Those no doubt products of child slavery.
The R/C Radios I buy are from Japan
but I suspect that work too is farmed out to the child slaves elsewhere. Indonesia, China, Malaysia etc.
Slavery is the same, even if you get an inadequate wage you are still a slave.
I build my aircraft from scratch or plans.
I will not knowingly support child slavery or wage slavery.
However I too buy electronics that are likely the same. So I too am guilty.
