End Of Chinese Cheap?

SHANGHAI - Factory workers in China have taken to picket lines, demanding higher wages. It's expected to affect foreign companies that depend low costs of "made in China" goods.



Orient-ation

Employees in China
Don't think it's so funny
Receiving low wages;
So they want some more money.

They've made their wants vocal
By going on strike.
They want wage increases,
Or they'll all take a hike.

From Beijing to Shenyang,
Nanjing to Shanghai,
The workers are raising
A similar cry.

And what they're demanding
Might just end up forcing
Their Chinese employers
To consider outsourcing.
