Eastern working practices influencing the Western world?

Signal's description

Please describe the Weak Signal (approx. 150 words)
Working practices for manufacturers (such as ipods) in China are very poor and have led to a number of suicide attempts. If western practices are taken on board, then the demand for products may not be met and the Western world cannot afford to manufacture which could lead to a downturn in new technological and innovative products and a crash in the European economy.
