Why do Chinese guys not speak English?
Why would they? It is China, they will speak CHINESE, the official language of the country.
What's up with those face masks?
Those miners look very dusty and that could kick up a lot of dust that they don't want to breathe. Also China has a major pollution problem.
And why do they love squatting so much?
I don't see them squatting that much except to pick things up. It is better to squat to pick things up so you don't through out your back. Legs are stronger than the back.
Must be their third world toilet system. Does China use toilet paper?
YES! Of course they do. They also have running water toilets just like in America or Europe.
I think this video is absolutely tragic. The investors who put up the money for this mine are a full two years too late. Must have been one hell of a con job / sales pitch to get them to write the check. The difficulty is so high that they have to spend a ton to have a chance at making anything, and with the Chinese quality electrical system in this mine, that place is going to go up in flames before they get anywhere near making a profit. Watch and see.
They already ROI'd on the equipment so this is pretty much pure profit now. If you look at the thread about this that Eric Mu started to show the mine, you will see that they are improving their electrical and safety stuff with advice from members here. They also have new equipment.
I find your comments quite offensive and insensitive to other peoples and cultures.
