Most people have not heard of the "World's Factory" or "Factory of the World". Which is where the current shoe factory strike is raging, it's in an area of China called the Pearl River Delta or PRD.
The capital of the area is Canton, which is located 75 miles NW of Hong Kong.
The population of this megacity area is a staggering 63 to 120 million people.
In 2001 almost five percent of the world's goods were produced here, and Hong Kong has over 70,000 factory plants in the PRD area.
Thanx goes to MapQuest® the best free maps and directions online, for the map screenshot of the PRD area.
