That is most certainly the case. But in light of China's lack  
of human rights, and slave-like labour in factories, WHY are  
companies continuing to do business with China.

Much of the quality of books out of China looks pretty good.   
I'll give them that (unless the inks and dyes are poisonous).

Meanwhile I'll posit that there is a lot of greed in the  
publishing industry too - so the bottom line is to maximize  
profits at any cost.
