Mr Qin, manager of the HuaXia baseball cap factory, is a proud man.
His factory, located in the booming Yangtze river delta region of China, has expanded dramatically in the last few years.
It is now producing 30 million baseball caps each year, supplying retailers across the US and Europe at an average price of $1 (50p) per cap.
Every day the factory fills a standard 40-foot container with 60,000 caps, which is sent down the motorway to the port of Shanghai.
A sister factory, Hua Yuan, has an exclusive contract with Nike to manufacture their branded caps.

According to James Hu, the sales director of GM-Wuling, the typical Sunshine minivan buyer is male, a small businessman, a high school graduate, and earns between $200 and $500 per month.
Over 80% are first-time buyers and most plan to use their minivans for both home and business – sometimes replacing the three-wheeled bicycles in which they used to transport their goods.
Most pay in cash, with sometimes the whole family coming into the dealership with the money in hand.
Wuling markets the vehicle through rural China and is expanding its dealer network, which is strong in the poorer, Western regions.

Major-General Tariq Yusuf, police chief of Iraq’s Anbar province, which borders Syria, told Reuters that Prime Minister Nouri Maliki had personally ordered the deployment.
“There is a government accusation against Syria relating to the bomb attacks. They have information that there is a threat from Syria,” he told Reuters.
We have caught two infiltrators trying to enter in the last two months.”
Iraq is seeking the extradition of two suspects for the 19 August bombings, which targeted two government ministries in Baghdad.
But Syria has demanded to see proof that the two suspects are involved.

Shanghai has had some success in tackling its environmental issues.
One fact has been a strong planning system, coupled with the fact that the government owns all the land.
This has allowed the rapid redevelopment of the city and its infrastructure – as well as generating money to pay for big infrastructure projects.
Air quality has improved with unacceptable days dropping from 20% to 10% in the past five years.
But water pollution, is worse, as the rapid growth of industry in the Shanghai region, upstream of the city, has made it harder to keep the city’s main water source, the Yangtze River, clean

A global summit in Copenhagen in December will decide the fate of the Kyoto Protocol, the only international agreement we have ever had to combat the dangers of climate change.
But the protocol expires in 2012 and, like Cinderella, it will become a pumpkin as the clock strikes 12.
The Danish capital city is the last stop on the rollercoaster ride of hope and despair since the protocol was signed by 160 nations in 1997.
Partial attempts to move negotiations forward limped from failure to failure in recent years.
The world’s two largest emitters – the US and China – cannot agree on limits, and the outlook looks bleak.
Yet, as an insider in the Kyoto process with 25 years of UN experience, I can read the smoke signals. I believe that Kyoto is worth saving, and it can be saved.
The failures so far are meaningless because nothing at the UN happens until the 11th hour, when we are forced to reach a decision.
Every nation has an incentive to procrastinate: no nation wants to reduce carbon emissions on its own.
Global warming is the first true global problem we have ever faced and we need every nation to participate or else there is no solution.
By burning its own fossil fuels, Africa could unwillingly cause trillions of dollars worth of damage to the US when sea levels rise and polar caps melt. There is nowhere to hide.

“There was a universal view that we need to get an agreement in Copenhagen – not an agreement at any price, but that we’ve come a long way and we intend to translate that into an agreement by the end of the year.”
In recent weeks, there have signs that a deal might be impossible to secure in December, with important details potentially being left for discussion next year.
But Mr Miliband said he was “going all out” for agreement at Copenhagen, and there was no “Plan B”.
He also declared that “leaders need to be involved”.
Ministers and negotiators cannot do the job alone, he said.
Many observers believe that Barack Obama is the leader whose presence would do most to hasten a deal, but Mr Stern, the US administration’s chief negotiator, said the president’s attendance was not decided.
“We are not writing anything off or foreclosing possibilities,” Mr Stern said.
“If the kind of progress is made that would warrant the attendance of leaders, we’ll certainly look at that.”
Environment groups urged leaders including Mr Obama to step up their level of personal commitment.
“The planet cannot afford the US administration downplaying the significance of the Copenhagen climate summit,” said Martin Kaiser, climate policy adviser with Greenpeace International.
“President Obama and other world leaders need to go to Copenhagen and take personal responsibility for its success, in order to achieve an agreement to avert catastrophic climate change.”
Mr Stern also told reporters that a new treaty could not be an extension of the Kyoto Protocol, as many developing countries are demanding, if the US is to join up.
“We’re not a party to the Kyoto Protocol and we’re not going to be a party,” he said.

Mr Tsvangirai said the MDC was officially pulling out of cabinet and council of ministers meetings as well as routine Monday meetings between the leaders of the three parties in the national unity government.
Until confidence has been restored, we can’t continue to pretend that everything is well,” AP news agency quotes Mr Tsvangirai as saying.
MDC spokesman Nelson Chamisa told the BBC that despite Mr Bennett’s release, the MDC would not co-operate with Zanu-PF until other outstanding issues are resolved.
The BBC’s Jonah Fisher in South Africa says the announcement is a sign of deal under intense stress – but in itself it may not make much difference to the operation of Zimbabwe’s government.
He says the MDC has been ignored over some key decisions.
MDC ministers will however continue to hold their positions – and try to exercise their powers.
Mr Bennett, who has been nominated as deputy minister for agriculture, is due to stand trial on 19 October on charges of terrorism, insurgency, sabotage and banditry. If convicted he could face a life sentence in jail.
“Roy Bennett is not being prosecuted, he is being persecuted,” Mr Tsvangirai said.
Mr Bennett was initially arrested and jailed in February, on the day ministers in the coalition government were sworn in.
He was released on bail in March before a judge ordered that he return to prison on Wednesday.
“In my view the applicant stands to lose more by absconding trial. He has foiled his previous record, therefore he is entitled to an order that he seeks,” Justice Charles Hungwe said on Friday, announcing his bail release, AFP reports.
Mr Bennett, a white farmer whose land was seized under Mr Mugabe’s land reform programme, fled to South Africa in 2006 saying he feared for his life, before returning to serve in the government.

And many poor black South Africans – who reverentially refer to Mr Zuma by his clan name, Msholozi – have already been saying: “If he can succeed, why can’t we?”
In a shrewd move, Mr Zuma made education a central theme of his campaign, promising to give them the schooling he was denied as a child in apartheid South Africa.
He said that during his first five years in office, 60% of schools would become non-fee paying and South Africa would, as the ANC’s manifesto put it, be “liberated from illiteracy”.
“I love education because I know how it feels to be uneducated, having been there myself,” Mr Zuma said on the campaign trail.
“But when you put your mind to something, you succeed. I did it; I am educated today.”
Although a former communist, he has backed up his emphasis on education by portraying himself as avowedly religious.
He has frequently visited churches, either to pray or to minister.
This was an attempt by Mr Zuma to regain the moral high-ground after being dogged by sex and financial scandals through his campaign.
One church declared Mr Zuma an “honorary pastor”; another prayed for him.
“Bless him, keep him protected, guide and lead him,” pastor Ray McCauley of the Rhema Pentecostal church said from the pulpit.
This struck a chord with many black South Africans. It showed Mr Zuma was just like them – fallible, and in need of prayer and redemption; not punishment and retribution.
But South Africa’s most prominent clergyman, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, struck a different note.
In the weeks leading up to the election, he said Mr Zuma should be tried for corruption.
“If he is innocent as he has claimed to be, for goodness sake, let it be a court of law that says so… at the present time, I can’t pretend to be looking forward to having him as my president.”
