Just so you know, in Asain countries children are occassionally sent to work illegally. (In case you've never heard of a 'sweat shop') So it is possible that, for whatever reason (likely due to being born into a poor family) that he was sent to work young. It may not be his fault. As well, the factory should have been safe enough to keep people from dying in it. This isn't exactley an everyday thing in China. Even with their lower standards of living.

But then, like you said, why is this news exactly? It happens all the time, companies all have the paper work and if the paper work says the worker is 18, then he is 18 in the companies eyes. There are numerous, maybe even thousands of other companies that do this, but what's so special about this? It happens, it was probably an accident. But is it news worthy? Not in my eyes.

If a child dying in somplace he shouldn't be isn't news-worthy than I don't understand why news compnaies even publish over half their stories. I've seen cats in the news. Cats...

Especially in the Middle East people die a lot for example 9 people die everyday in Syria :( :(

The Company lied about his age not him. The company allegedly falsified its records and reported him as one Su Longda, an 18-year-old.

You don't get it. Asia is a continent, but you referred to it as a country.

I read the article and it didnt seem to say what caused him to die, other than implying that he was overworked, so I dont really see this being asus's or the factory's fault aside from demanding harsh deadlines.

 

Also, it seems that the factories are safe enough to work in if what killed him was himself by being overworked.

Its not like the uniform he is supposed to wear got caught in one of the machines which pulled him into another machine which killed him, or toxic fumes are being leaked out from the manufacturing process which was the cause of death.

 

and by him killing himself by being overworked, I mean it was caused by his own body, and not any physical external factors

what forced him to overwork for a misery, his body or the factory he was in?

 

I'm sorry but I can't understand how can any civilized being argue against what should be the most basic humans rights.

[Keen_Interest]

"He reportedly worked at..." "The company apparently..." They don't sound very sure of anything.. Human rights are SO important. But get the facts before reporting maybe-possiblys...
