Rob Schmitz is a reporter and Marketplace Correspondent based in Shanghai, China. He has spent time in many factories - as well as a bit of time outside of the Foxconn factory in Shenzhen, the same factory fabulist Mike Daisey interviewed workers he purported were 12 and 13 years old. Schmitz's findings definitely didn't jibe with Daisey's and I decided to sit down for a few minutes to go over his experiences reporting on Chinese manufacturing practices and problems.
