Secret of the Chinese

From http://www.opendemocracy.net/arts-Literature/ulysses5_3938.jsp

What, then, is the secret of these Chinese, the weapon that makes them so strong?

'I've thought about this a long time and I'll give you my answer. The Chinese have invented the ideal worker. In other words, the worker who costs even less than the absence of a worker.'

This Ulysses series article " Journey to the Lands of Cotton: A Brief Manual of Globalisation"
by Erik Orsenna is a an excellent read for people interested in globalization and farmers' problems.
