"The biggest and most effective strike witnessed against a multinational in China."¹

- The South China Morning Post, on the strike by Honda workers at Foshan, in 2010.

"China! It has been promoting low-cost competition and cheap labor. Our GDP keeps growing! However, this growth relies on exploiting our cheap labor. We have created all this wealth but only get very low wages in return."²

- A Honda worker in China, at the close of the strike by Honda workers at Foshan, in 2010.

"This is all because there is a major political debate going on about how to deal with the nation's growing income gap and the need to do something about wages"³

- Andreas Lauffs, lawyer at Baker & McKenzie⁴, in 2010.
