    May Day parades gathers crowds around the world Sydney Morning Herald, Australia
    'In China right now the most important thing is money, it is more important than the dignity of workers, than the rights of workers, the health of workers and the safety of workers,' Han Dongfang, director of the Hong Kong-based China Labor Bulletin said.

    'May Day should be a day for awareness of labour issues and the difficulties workers are having, but now all the government wants to do is promote consumerism.'
