Darryl, I don't see it that way. They seem to have an investment in the common future of the Nation. There are Chinese here who are returning to China with those same ideals. It's no different from the beliefs of the homesteading of the prairies which were a colossal failure and an environmental catastrophe giving rise to the pollution of the mega corporations today. Or of the various Drone contracts with private Industry that created the poverty of America and the genocide of my people. When you draw a comparison between the first seventy years of almost any new nation you get these parallels that are humbling. The problem is forgetfulness and not learning from the larger patterns. IMHO

Note, the workers do not necessarily have a 'better' life. I'm sure their stress levels are increasing dramatically as well. It is the management (usually relatives of the factory owners) that have the 'newfound' gains in wealth and buying power.
