A Chinese factory is pulling out all the stops, resurrecting an out of date product and partly suspending its normal business for several days to satisfy a 14-year-old autistic British boy. Jackel China, located in Changping area of Dongguan, in Guangdong province, will suspend normal operation of three of its machines for two to three days. The machines will instead be allocated to manufacture between 500 and 1,000 blue-green Tommee Tippee cups, which Marc Carter said is the only cup his autistic son Ben will drink from.Ben's cup, which was bought 12 years ago, is now worn out and his father appealed on social networking platforms in an effort to find a replacement. Samples have already been sent to Ben's father, who will check the color. Once confirmation is received, the factory will start manufacture. Production of the cups is expected to take a week and costs 20,000 yuan ($2,900). (Photo/Weibo account of CCTV)
