Japan plans to invest $5.6 bil in Indonesia

Nothing like an invitation to exploit cheap and unprotected workers to get the corporate giants drooling.

I suppose the workers are better off now, not working, and still with no protection?

About 1/5 of the world's population has been lifted out of poverty over the last 15 years because these "drooling corporate giants" have brought jobs and opportunities to developing countries. How much have wages increased in China in recent years? How much have wages been increasing in Vietnam and Thailand? But whatever, "corporations baaad".

Many people used to say corporatopns expanded to China for cheap labor etc. Then found Chinese people own cars/ Not necessarily cheap labor. When Japan Inc help the economy of country, people;s income increase and more consumption occur. Just like Japan Inc in USA where a majority of family own more than 1 car and enjoy employment by Japanese automakers etc.
