You should work in the Central African Republic coltan mines if you think anyone has a leg to stand on.

I am living in China and I think you cannot just talk with imagination.

I manufacture/buy electronics in Shenzhen and have visited my factories. They seemed fine to me.

And are you going to enlighten us? What is life like working in a Chinese mine?

Not good. You may look for news online. If you can’t find anything, you might reflect why this happens.

There is not much information about conditions in the the mining industry in most countries, because the situation is unremarkable and comfortable. I put it to you that you have no idea what mining conditions are like in China and the situation is overall good.

It seems that you believe 'no news is good news' in this situation. But I just say it's not. A tragedy just happened this week. You will never know. And you might know much less about the other side of China unless you aware that one day by reflection. God bless you.
