I did my own research, asking the girls in the Chinese owned neighbourhood restaurants about THEIR working conditions ...they'd be happy if they could get a job at McDonalds.I am not defending Coca Cola and other Western enterprises, they should comply with the law , but do you really think a Chinese students' clandestine investigation of working conditions e.g. in Guandong Export enterprises, CHINESE owned , could EVER make it into China Daily - if it happened at all ? Ever since I had to get may daily dosis of China Daily and other official Chinese media, I never found such a thing. Blatant nationalism never makes good reporting...and as you say - it's "just" young students.
