Pretty dismal, eh? That's what happens when you combine
1) The capitalist system, which cares about nothing but profits and
2) The chinese "communist" system, which cares nothing for human rights
Unfortunately, there is no incentive for anyone in this situation to change anything. Wal-Mart is in heaven from an economic standpoint, and China couldn't care less, in fact they're probably happy for the investment. Short of international outcry (which should happen theoretically) nothing's going to change. Although you'd think in Wal-Mart's case that a company that's so big on giving to charities and such in the US that morals might be important somewhere along the line.

Similar to a company, Talisman Energy, that's been taking oil from Sudan, and also sponsoring an incredibly bloody civil war there. Don't know where to find articles on this, but check it out. It's remarkably similar.
