They have a job that pays, a place to sleep and an employer that's willing to provide them with education. Fair or not we can only reasonably judge people's situation in comparison to others within their own country and these guys have it better than plenty of others in China.

Don't forget to add mistreating them in there.

I didn't intentially gloss over that point and while I'm not for a moment suggesting that it's acceptable that this happens,  anywhere where there are people struggling to hold jobs there will be employers above them mistreating and taking advantage of their situation safe in the knowledge that their employees have no where else to go.  You don't have to go to China to see that.

Nonetheless a mistreated employee with a roof over their head will still consider themselves lucky in comparison to someone who has none of those things.
