En el debate actual sobre la globalización, lo que se echa en  falta son las voces de los obreros —los millones de personas que migran a fábricas en China y otros países emergentes para hacer productos que se venden en todo el mundo. La reportera Leslie T. Chang buscó mujeres que trabajan en una de las megaciudades en auge de China, y cuenta sus historias.

Leslie T. Chang: Las voces de los obreros de China

The lives of Chinese factory workers are often misunderstood, reduced to symbols of exploitation or suffering. In reality, millions of young migrants leave rural villages for cities like Dongguan, seeking opportunity, skills, and personal growth. For these workers, their ambitions and choices matter more than the products they make, and few wish to return to the old ways back home. One young woman, after several job changes, saved enough for a car and apartment, showing a trajectory of agency and self-improvement.
