A month ago, super-exploited North Korean workers at a Chinese factory rioted, occupied the place and then beat one of the managers to death. North Korean *female* workers, to be exact.
Yes, really.
Or rather: we don´t know, but a Japanese newspaper claims that this did indeed happen about a month ago. There is certainly a context for the above, and I already linked to that article, but here we go again (see second link below).
Somewhat ironically, both pieces are from the right-wing populist site Breitbart News, presumably because the prove that Communism is a bad thing even for workers. Also, Breitbart are anti-Chinese. Still, the articles are worth reading. The short story is that China´s seafood industry is using virtual slave labor from the Pacific islands, North Korea and China itself. Much of the seafood is then exported to the United States!
I suppose it would be richly ironic if the North Korean Communist regime would be overthrown by workers from a capitalist "free zone"...
