"They have to have twice the staff because the chinese employees spend half their work day asleep. They're asleep because they spend their nightimes out in their fields farming their cabbages."
Juk,
As you can see from the graph shown bellow, gold mine supply in China has increased at a much faster pace since 2008 when it was 288 mt compared to the forecasted 430 mt in 2013. This is nearly a 50% increase during this time period (2008-2013) compared to the 44% increase from 2003-2008.
Maybe the Chinese employers have managed to double the productivity by providing their workers with cabbages so that they can work day and night.
