Sounds like the Chinese version of a strike, only they want to off themselves instead. Only a matter of time China catches up and decides to outsource to someone else. Unless they let those people kill themselves and replace them with the millions out there that could use a job.

OK, didn't we just go through a barrage of stories telling us about the woes of the Chinese laborer & how they are being treated only to have all those stories blow up & be somehow disproved as bullshit, thus ruining the careers of a couple of people?

Now we're starting this shit up again!?! I doubt I heard grathan correctly, but, fire the complaining individuals & hire more motivated individuals.
