I agree with Bryan that boycotting is not a solution, it never is. It seems to me that the most basic cause for poverty is the lack of money, and boycotting will simply make that worse.

One has to remember that China is still a developing country, and hence should be judged as one. The progress made since the 90s to reach the living standards it has now, over a period of 20 years, is amazing.

Photos are selective and can be misleading, just as we are all aware from astronomical image processing. No one denies that these photos depict serious issues, but you cannot convert poverty into wealth in one day.
