Ed,

However, now that the Chinese workers are into this I think we'll find that from now onwards their strikes will be far more violent than anything America has experienced. Highly disciplined societies have a way of really letting rip when they have occasion to. Think of Germany in the 1930s or the Japanese in the 1950s.

Interesting opinion piece on unions in China in today’s Washington post. Excerpt: “No other major industrial nations are as hostile to independent unions as China and the United States. .....Chinese communism and American capitalism may be two very different systems, but under both, workers assert their rights at their peril.”
