"This excellent article may need some context for Western readers. My commentary attempts to provide a brief background about working conditions and the occupational safety and health situation in China during the past 40 years. This is all within the framework of the political changes and the development of the Chinese ‘economic miracle' of which so many in the West are enamoured."
