China: 'When Lisebo Tsebo's Chinese employers abruptly shut their textiles factory and vanished without paying their workers, she tried to commit suicide by drinking a mixture of insecticide and rat poison. She was among nearly 10,000 workers who have lost their jobs in six factory closures in Lesotho over four months, all triggered by the re-entry of Beijing into the world textiles market. Yesterday, China was warned of possible retaliatory measures by the European Union.' (Independent)
