Conditions for workers in China's factories should improve, and, as a matter of fact, are improving. The fact that tens of millions of Chinese peasants choose to pack up and move hundreds of miles away to work in these factories and send home money to their families should tell you something about the conditions in their villages, however.

I suggest you read some of the reporting from China James Fallows did for The Atlantic last year.
