For example we just finished ancient China and so now my students can understand a bit of the connection to that country and the five other ones which makes components of the phone.

There's a good series called China From the Inside Out, and this clip (part of a lesson plan) gives a balanced view of the opportunities and challenges these workers face. http://www.pbs.org/kqed/chinainside/edlesson1.html
