China's manufacturing cities – photo gallery

Wired News is sporting a gallery of photos of the vasty manufacturing cities of China, eye-melting panoramas of endless assembly lines and dormitories and cafeterias. I just attended a jaw-dropping talk by Chumby's Bunnie Huang about his tours of Chinese factories on the way to setting up Chumby manufacturing and every slide inspired a fresh weirdness. For example, in one factory's cafeteria, visitors are only allowed to eat off disposable plates with disposable cutlery, to avoid giving the (medically screened) residents any foreign germs.
