REMOVED LYRICS:

When the fallout of the 2010 suicides left Foxconn with a labour shortage, Henan's provincial government assisted.
The province directed 100,000 vocational students to staff Shenzhen's assembly lines as "interns" or "trainees".
With nine days' notice, students were told that those who failed to comply would not be allowed to graduate.
Teachers have been stationed in the factory to monitor attendance and some interns have been as young as 14.

LINER NOTES:

China is known for its mass mobilisation of workers. This, as a solution to worker suicides, takes that one step further. There's no denying it's an education - of sorts.
