Well, at least there's something good about China.

It’s a story to give an American manufacturing executive nightmares: He arrives at his Beijing factory to lay off 30 people, and instead is taken prisoner by his employees while they demand compensation.

Based on the CEO's nonchalant attitude in the interview, it seems that the Chinese can't even do a good job in extorting people they take hostage.

It takes a lot of lies to get people to work for a bowl rice a day.
Like "You'll always have a bowl of rice!". Those iPhones were built rice bowl by rice bowl, nobodies kids went to college from the money they made working down at the Wholefoods green bag factory. Now you're going to roll into town and tell them otherwise. Hey it's been great knowing you, but you need to find another way to make a bowl of rice.

Is this really something to appluad? At the end of the day, CEOs are people too.

If someone were kidnapping lawyers, judges, police, and politicians here in the states, would you be appluading that as well? Know thy enemy

Somalian pirates are people as well! They're just trying to kidnap enough ships and crew to get enough ransoms to survive and maybe start their own harem! If more lawyers, politicians and judges and police in the US had to answer to the people for their crimes, perhaps we would have better, more representative government.

Everyone has a view. Does that make everyone right? Because if everyone is right, then no one is.

No, you're thinking of corporations.
