In China, 1,600 People Die Every Day From Working Too Hard
Death from overwork has become a serious social issue in China. Li Jianhua, Chinese banking regulator, died of a heart attack at work under stress of report dead line. In fact, more than 600,000 people died from working too much every year. Many Chinese labors complain about overwork on Micro blogging website. However, there were big differences of opinion on the overwork issue between companies and labors. Most companies regarded the deceased from overwork as heroes who were dedicated to the company.
I think these problems are the results of side effects of rapid economic growth. Manufacturing industry has become the Chinese key to higher prosperity. Since this industry is mainly labor intensive things, working hours is important. Therefore, under the manufacturing industry, this overwork problems will arise continuously. In Korea, our parental age also experienced these problems in their working environment. At that time, economies in Korea grew rapidly which is called 'Miracle on the Han River'. Hidden behind the growth of the Korean economy is the exploitation of labor. So, labor movement has raised to protect their right and it was quite successful. Therefore, Chinese labors also needs to claim actively to their working rights like 'Jeon Tae Ill' who contributed to development of labor rights in Korea.

Made in China' high-speed trains going global
China no longer imports the high-speed train. Instead, it is the large exporter. Nowadays, China has not low technical skills anymore and does not only produce labor-intensive products. High-speed train is the part of hi-tech industry that only few developed countries in Europe have monopolized. However, China has become a strong competitor as Chinese rail company sold the high-speed train to Macedonia's national railway company.
Many economists put stress on growth potential of China and expect that Chinese economy will surpass the U.S. I think their large population and communism are the key engines of the economic growth in China. 1.3 billion people have proved their potential in the manufacturing industry. And it promotes price competitiveness as well. In addition, communism in China can give direction to the economic growth. Under the government, they can specialize on the specific industry. For these reasons, I believe China's economy will continue to grow rapidly.

In China, Even Zoo Animals Can Be Fakes: Chinese Consumers and Trust Issues

I totally agree with the article. Lacking in integrity of Chinese companies makes negative prejudice against Chinese products. For instance, we perceive Chinese products as low quality regardless of the price. It can result in disturbance of economic development in China. Therefore, for the development of Chinese market, these problems related to 'Fake' should be solved first. To do so, enterprises need to realize the importance of consumer's reliability and treat them sincerely. Also, Chinese government should strengthen regulations on this issue.
