Mottram's reply is fine. The person writing the article however sounds like a moron. The most technologically advanced factories in the world are in China. It's not all sweatshops FFS. As a country we elected China to supersede us as 'the workshop of the world'.
It's a major problem in my opinion, that we're so dependent on such an ethically questionable country for the production of so many if our goods. However, the truth is that the UK has, for the most part, dismantled its once-awesome manufacturing base.
