Haha, saw these on Reddit the other day - I always enjoy the Finnish accent.

He sounds like Tommi Makinen more than Mika - Tommi was always more of a yokel. :)

What things are you finding hard to grasp?

The US has reworked slave labor trade for years, as the prison system is made to print money with cheap labor(paid) less then the Chinese workers. It is huge business they make loads of different produce.

In short: the life circumstances of the people there, who seem to be pretty happy with their situation, too.

But also the company's ability to adapt very quickly. One week to set up a 'line' and churn out 500 coffee makers a day. If you've ever tried to employ people, that's friggen impressive.

Life is not as easy as it is here.. Just to food and shelter is big for people. Though from the voices it was more Taiwanese in upper management.
40hour*work weeks, base line worker 300-350USD a month, expenses 50c for a balanced meal and board base rate of $6 per month.

Ability to adapt is the role of the company. But impressive it is, all in-house so it is quicker to do.

Everybody's driving nice and slow around the blind corner as they should.
It seems it wasn't a near miss for the lady's car after all...

Every clip on Tv I have seen of it just plays the .gif, no sight of her car, only the bit afterwards.

And not the part before it when the driver pulls up, and could of told his fellow driver about the obstruction.

Police in northern China say an argument between construction workers escalated into a demolition derby-style clash of heavy machinery that left at least two bulldozers flipped over in a street.

In online video taken Saturday, several bulldozers are seen ramming each other while passenger cars scurry away from the cloud of dust.

The video shows one driver running unhurt out of his toppled bulldozer, a fast-moving type also known as a wheel loader, while a friendly bulldozer tries to lift it back up.

The construction workers were from two companies competing for business, Xu Feng, a local government spokesman in Hebei province's Xingtang county, said Monday. He said he couldn't disclose details about arrests or injuries until an investigation concludes.

China's construction sector has fallen on hard times, with growth down by two-thirds from its peak a decade ago. Real estate construction represents close to a quarter of China's economy, a far higher proportion than other major countries, and its slowdown is now sending ripples through industrial sectors such as steel, glass and cement, causing waves of layoffs.
