Well I expect your pay way good .... ???? ... as it is for most expats working in China ... and quite a few of them in China .....  I assume you did not get water boarded or had electrode fitted to precious body parts ... Detention for 3 days at full company pay ..... 

Have you ever spent three days in a detention cell just for doing your job?

 

Of course I was still being paid, but that is a small thing compared to the loss of my liberty in cell with a pi**s pot in the corner simply because I was doing my job.

 

No I wasn't waterboarded, but until you have experienced the humiliation, and deprivation of being detained for nothing more than doing your job, don't you dare to judge me

It's not strange at all. People can have different wishes, or even hold conflicting ones. That usually the can't have it all or both ways, it another matter. People also fail to acknowledge, or even outright deny obvious connections between causes and effects, facts and whole lot of other things.

I actually agree with that.

People run out to buy the latest designer shoe or phone and rarely think about how it was made by some peasant living in worker barracks and paid a pittance so some corporate CEO can make multi millions of $. I don't know if it's actual ignorance or if it's wilful ignorance.

However I do despair for the soul of humanity that so many consign the exploited of other countries to their fate as long as they can get what they covet cheaply.
