Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
China is state capitalist, as evidenced by the fact that the phone you bought was manufactured there via cheap labor.
You're delusional.
Average wage of a factory worker in china is $3.77 usd per hour. Please go to china and let me know how well they treat you lol
Xiaomi sure as hell isn't a "workers' cooperative" - it's literally a public stock company traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for crying out loud! And I don't think anyone would doubt the fact Xiaomi's engineers are paid well, well at least the ones that actually work for it and aren't the employees of affiliate-startups that are part of the Mijia-ecosystem, but Xiaomi like everyone else, even Fairphone, uses the unethically-treated and underpaid Chinese factory-worker labour-pool exactly like everyone else - as disposible cogs in a well-oiled tat-producing machine.
