You want to hear a horror story, try getting paid by GM or any of the other big manufacturers. He says you're lucky if you get paid within a year of delivering the product..
People are laying blame in the wrong place many times. All china (or any Chinese company) did was accept a job. If these giant billion dollar corporations would stop selling out their own people to make a few extra dollars, it wouldn't be a problem.
