Factory of the World

As we rode on the highway on route from Hong Kong to Guangzhou, we can't help but notice along the stretch of road, there were huge plots of land with endless rows of factories - old, dirty and poorly-maintained, and the air pollution there was simply horrible. And we were informed that this is the world's factory. This is one of the production lines of the a major contributor to the goods worldwide, from brandless to the branded. In exchange for dirt cheap goods businesses can sell at much higher prices around the world, the place has been plundered and degenerated into this polluted state... A victim of globalisation and human's unsatiable lust for more consumerism, one that not many would know of, or would even be bothered if they knew.
