Reflection
After the exposure trip, both of us are impressed by the machineries and equipments
in the Dongguan Longchang Toy Factory. They have advanced technologies and
laboratories to do a lot of testing and R&D (research and development). The trip
provides us a channel to gain a better understanding of how a factory works and
what isits production. Also, we are impressed with the rising of China and understand
China's name as the World's Factory and its contribution to the world's economy.
This is the very first time for us to visit a factory and inspect the production process
of a factory which makes us very excited.
