Like the rest of the Asian tigers, these people mean business!
And notice that the selection of models is getting steadily more exciting. Very interesting to see them in action!

.....these workers are very skilled but very difficult to hang on to in China (after the coming Chinese New Year some of the factories will loose up to a 1/3rd of their skilled workforce).

What's happening after the New Year, Scott?

I'm sure my immediate thought, that they were over-indulging in the New Year celbrations and never returning to work afterwards, is wrong!

Most of these workers are from rural area's and will move to a city, often living in factory dorms or cheap digs, only for as long as it takes for them to have saved enough to return home and stay there with their family for however long suits them.......and who can blame them, factory work is hard and living away from your family even harder....this is why Chinese factory's rarely run at 100% staff levels (model factories I know struggle to get any more than 2/3 staffed at any given time).....and why "cheap" Chinese goods will not last forever.
