"Showing Chinese sweatshop workers slumped over their desks with exhaustion, it is an image that Microsoft won't want the world to see."

Read the article. It's enough to make you not want to buy anything made in China. (gee...)
And why does this happen? The way our global economy works means the cheapest labour is used to make everything. Consumer prices in North America are kept as low as possible to keep us buying stuff that eventually breaks and needs replacing, which in turn adds to landfills. And so many people still don't realize that when they buy stuff they vote for this perpetual cycle.
That's why I like it when I hear the economy is failing. I would rather spend my money on used stuff, or higher-priced durable goods that last and are built closer to home anyway.
