products that are manufactured in china are developed and designed by firms' R&D in the US, EU and Japan. So "they" are making the trash "we" are asking them to do, cos noone in your counry would like to or do it for the same price. stop being so ignorant, wake UP! thanks for the vid, really appreciated

It's called outsourcing! Don't blame it on the lower developed countries. Most people live in poverty and NEED those jobs to survive. They don't want to make inferior products, but they HAVE to.

Very interesting video. I was not aware of this e-waste problem before and I was really shocked by these images from Guiyu. In my opinion, this problem should be more covered in the media.

this might sound rather pigish, but atleast it went back to were it came from. Since 80% of electronics arent made in the U.S. anyway and made in places like tiawan and china, its good to see there getting the trash they made back. i really dont think its a problem on us giving them the trash that came from there in the first place,i think its the way these ppl are disposing of them, with out PPE and proper disposal habits, thats whats killing them, the lack of someone caring about there safety.

We the Human Being Destroying the Beautiful Earth and for that we can not blame others but us. Our lavish lifestyle and over use of technology making the nature in stake indeed. I am using a laptop to type this... Isnt it also unnecessary ? we can live on without this crap things. its true It make the life easier and its potentiality is undeniable but have we ever thought about the long run effect of this ????

How can people use so much energy, aren't they interested in being able to breathe?
