Wearing brightly colored T-shirts, blowing whistles, waving flags and pounding drums, Wal-Mart China employees cheered and sang the praises of their stores at the annual staff meeting here.
The mood was much the same as the pep rally atmosphere at Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s shareholder meetings, held in Arkansas each June, where thousands of Wal-Mart workers gather to hear from top executives and plan for the next year.
Unlike Arkansas, however, there were no protesters in Shenzhen. No one was accusing the world’s biggest retailer of paying poverty-level wages, damaging the environment or forcing suppliers to move manufacturing offshore.
