This was an issue brought up in one of Moore's books. Many companies do this apparently, not only Walmart.
Like most works of 'non-fiction', one should view with objectivity, as the producers likely did not. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but today's society seems to prefer the more salacious view for entertainment purposes.
btw- Walmart is China's EIGHTH largest trading partner. China will do whatever is necessary to maintain that relationship. I wonder if there is an opportunity in this to encourage them to improve their human rights record?
