The national union in China is just a puppet of the communist government though, isn't it? Hardly what a real union should be.

Yep. China wants Wal-Mart unions because the trade union presumably charges dues (which then feed back into the CP apparatus) without actually doing anything to protect the workers.

Hmm, where else would news of a nascent pre-union Walmart Black Friday employee strike go?
