Students allegedly being forced to work in Chinese tech factories
Despite the efforts of major technology corporations, such as Apple and Samsung, to improve labor conditions in China, major problems are still slipping through the cracks. Now, as The Wall Street Journal writes, some Chinese students in their teenage years are reportedly being forced by their schools to work about 12 hours per day, six days a week, on factory assembly lines in that country. It gets worse, though. According to a 16-year-old student who spoke to The Wall Street Journal, she was told to either "spend summer making computers" for an HP supplier or wave goodbye to the chance of graduating from her vocational school. She's only one of thousands of teenagers going through this situation, per the report.
