Industrial in China

This is definitely a result of lower safety standards. People blaming idiocy/common sense are being unfair to Chinese people. Keep in mind that China has a population of 1.3 billion people, about 700 million of which are active in the working sector. China's working sector is, by itself, double the entire population of the United States. If you stuck thousands of US youth in factory conditions with few enforced safety standards/supervision, the outcome would be the same. The US has OSHA and accidents still happen despite that, even if it is statistically less. Given China's large population, a large industrial sector, and lower regulations, it is not surprising that many videos come from there.

I remember this was a part of the archive in r/wpd. It truly puts in to perspective what humans are capable of doing to one another. And if this exists not, imagine all the terrible suffering people have experienced like this in course of human history. I realize I am preaching to the birds, but I make more ethical choices because of these videos. It forces me to think about not perpetuating violence, even on a small level. I would do anything to never see this happen again.

Also the "beating" tag is a tad misleading.

Do you know the region the accent is associated with?

I'm trying to find backstory. I've found the video with sound here. I think they're speaking Chinese. Could someone help identify/translate the language?
