I know what they’re doing is wrong…but…look at their faces!

I’m stepping away from IT for a sec, and commenting on a news paper article I read recently.

The article appeared in The Age newspaper on Oct 31, titled:

“China puts clamp on shady goods manufacturers”


In brief the article talks about Chinese officials clamping down on “shady” goods and food manufacturing operators, due to health and safety issues.

I agreed with the article, as our H&S is very important, and with global markets in full swing, a lot of our consumables come from China.

But then I looked carefully at the photo that accompanied the article.

I know what they’re doing is wrong…but…look at their faces!

My heart broke…
