They really work so hard and yet, they make so little money, so often
they don't have enough money to support their families. Wonder how
many people actually have access to Internet out there? I have decided
to share the good news with you, everyone in China, other countires...
they can try something new on the net without investing money. For more
info, go to: http://www.yougetpaidtosurf.com/

I'd to see everyone to get out of poverty... nearly impossible I know,
but it certainly helps!

I knew a guy who went to college to take english so he can teach in
japan. A 4 year english course in college is taught in 6 months in
japan. So you only work 6 months a year but you get room and board...

Holy Crap!! Is this really true?

(1)
"It is not a secret anymore that 250 million Chinese people live on
less than $1 per day. Another 700 million or 47 percent of the
population, live on less than $2 a day. The work conditions of Chinese
laborers - the people who provide the world with every affordable
consumer products from T-shirts and bras to home appliances and
computers - are far from pleasant. They often work between 60 to 70
hours weekly."

Oh, so that's how *they* do it. No wonder Chinese products are so
cheap!!

(2)
"Overall urban and rural unemployment rate in China is estimated at
approximately 30 percent."

Whoa.

Isn't it your sacred promise to do as the Chinese do? Now go to China
immediately (no yelping, no stamping of feet) and live on $2 a day --
and don't forget to work 60 to 70 hours.

Your figure might be wrong.
950 million living on less than $2 a day. This is US dollars ? Or Hong
Kong dollars or Singapore dollars ?
In forum you have to state correctly the fact in US$ or S$ or HK$.

India is worst than China. How are the majority live there below how
many US$ ?

It's quoted from the original link. I believe it's US$. As for India,
"Almost a quarter of India's 1.1 billion people live on less than $1 a
day; 700 million more live on less than $2 a day." See, e.g.
http://sanderfeinberg.com/sdf/kala/story/poverty.shtml
which is really not that much different from China's, though overall
China has way higher GDP (or at least so claimed.....there are lies,
damned lies and stats, and it's really difficult to know what to
believe from China sometimes...or India for that matter.)
