A Chinese factory employee set fire to a textile plant in China’s southwestern Sichuan province in his frustration over unpaid wages of just 800 yuan (or US$111), according to videos posted on social media and eyewitness accounts shared with Radio Free Asia.
Should have just given the man his stapler.
My dear overworked and underpaid fellow Americans please take notes…
Where’s his picture so we can canonized him like St Luigi.
Should have given him his $111
Guess who the Chinese government will punish now (hint: it wont be the workers)
Fight back!
Note that RFA is mentioned as a very bad source in other communities.
RFA is a literal CIA propaganda outlet. Like directly created and funded by the CIA to spread anti China propaganda.

Radio Free Asia (RFA) was a news agency operated from 1951 to 1955 by the Central Intelligence Agency, through the Committee for Free Asia, to broadcast anti-Communist propaganda.
Well China is more or less state capitalist now so… Based CIA?
I don’t know if I’m joking or not, I hate both the CIA and China so whatever.
Meanwhile most Americans who are forced to work full time with no paid vacation or healthcare instead go off and say, “I don’t pay attention to politics, it’s depressing. I’m just gonna work on myself,” as they accept never being able to afford their dream vacation, their own home, or that new truck they desperately need.
Based
What a king
Ummm, based?
BASED
A quick peek at the article doesn’t show any fatalities/injuries, so based?
Idk. On one hand I really appreciate the energy but on the other hand this is kind of fucked up for everyone else that works there, and I assume there were people inside when he did this. Like what are all his coworkers going to do for work now that the factory is burned down? I know that’s part of why capitalism sucks but it’s not like they can do anything about it as individuals.
what are all his co-workers going to do
form a union?
They’re already in a union, this is China. All companies over a certain size are unionized by law.
Usually that works best before you burn the factory down
Burn down the executive’s houses?
There’s plenty of other factories that might even pay their workers.
Assumption they were getting paid considering he wasn’t
