The forced marched, the forgotten of the chinese growth, 2008
The race to the growth that China got engaged into and which leads its back on the international scene is uncompromising.
Polluted rivers, dried up streams, sunken valleys, razed cities, contaminated atmospheres … China has surpassed the United Kingdom. The country is now the third largest economy in the world. Forgotten of the growth, three fourth of five hundred million Chinese peasants live below the poverty line. They go into exile within their own country, fleeing millenary countrysides devastated by industrial pollution. Coal mining, heavy construction, factories around the world have become the El Dorado of the Mingongs, these migrant workers with contempt rights.
Exploited, and displaced, this cheap workforce at the mercy of corrupted powers begins each day the “Chinese economic miracle”, at the risk of its life.
