Young people in Asia don't want factory jobs, so companies are raising wages and adding perks. That's because factories across Asia that have traditionally produced many of these goods are struggling to find workers, The Wall Street Journal reported. In China, manufacturing workers' wages have more than tripled over the past decade, and factory workers in Vietnam, Malaysia, and Japan, have seen notable pay bumps as well. Companies like the Barbie manufacturer Mattel, the toy maker Hasbro, and Nike are facing elevated labor costs in Asia that have contributed to price hikes.

По данным прокуратуры США в Бостоне, бывший тренер по фехтованию из Гарвардского университета и бизнесмен из Мэриленда были арестованы и обвинены в заговоре с целью обойти процедуру приема в школу, передает ruherald.com. В 2013 году Чжао, управляющий телекоммуникационной компанией, якобы пожертвовал более 1 миллиона долларов благотворительной организации по фехтованию под управлением Брэнда. Семья китайской студентки заплатила 6,5 миллиона долларов консультанту, чтобы обеспечить ее поступление в Стэнфордский университет в Калифорнии в 2017 году, сообщает Los Angeles Times. По данным офиса Леллинга, последнее дело относится как минимум к 2012 году, когда Брэнд якобы говорил с Чжао о своих сыновьях. Брэнд и Чжао ожидали в федеральном суде в понедельник — по данным Министерства юстиции, Брэнд впервые появится в Бостоне, а Чжао в Гринбелте, штат Мэриленд.
