It implies they are forced to work against their will for no compensation. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32501737 You obviously have never heard of the term victim of circumstance. Those people are put in a position where they have no choice but to be a slave laborer or live in squalor and perpetual danger. You know this and what is even sadder is that you would try to shade your face from it. |

Wondering Mind User ID: 22054163 United States 09/15/2013 09:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No, I do not feel bad that China and Asia are producing commodities I buy. China has a huge human population and needs them employed at larger the amounts than we do. Or China would suffer and when their nation that large suffers we would suffer with them. Same it is with the islands they need the chance to build their selves up as well as we did. They get paid less than the dollar pays us but in a different nations economic setting. They are not slaves. The only thing I do not like is the ones who invite this production, as the merchant to set up shop for their employes, are not all giving their employes decent work areas and buildings. Work safety and human life concern, is not given unto them by their employer, who is not the company the employer is working for. This is a problem with the nation and its own regulations and its business people who set up shop there. This will be changed it has to be changed we can not have humans burning to death in sweater shops. We had this even in the US in our past...it has to be stopped by their own nations leaders. I do not begrudge them for wanting like wise to earn their bread and have a better way of life. We can produce as much as corporations are willing to innovate and put forth. That takes capital and buyers of their products. We need to stabilize the economies of the world and spark the imaginations of the humans. Sports is not labor and industry nor global or national economy. Nor is it our way of life and way of living it in a whole. Neither is education. Will Way and Desire for both is.

A matter of heart first mind from the heart..have a good day or night where ever you are. For your support of slave labor and for you totally ignoring Americas hypocrisy on Human Rights then you cannot get mad when all of your jobs are sent out of your country and sent to places where the people have no protection of their human or labor rights that YOU enjoy. You seem to put humanity into categories in your mind, those who are "Like us" and everyone else. This will be your down fall when THEIR economies over take yours and YOU become the Slave laborer struggling in fear and squalor. You cannot have it both ways. People are burning in sweat shops because you do not care to boycott those products nd demand. Th funny part is that you don't even have to care about those people all you really have to do to stop it is demand that your jobs not be shipped out of the country. Instead like a good little Anti Christ you will go along because you are getting what you want. You couldn't give a FUCK about anyone that doesn't directly affect your life. As it is planned for you to be. |

It implies they are forced to work against their will for no compensation. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32501737 Well, actually they are. In the Re-education through Labor camps (now being renamed Drug Rehabilitation centers), in prisons, in detention centers, in brainwashing centers, in local jails .. all those who are incarcerated work. Since many of them are unskilled, they package goods like chopsticks, toothpicks and bar picks, clothing, magazines, electronics, you name it, they package it. The facility gets paid, they are supposed to be paid, but that is an iffy situation. Many times they are paid a tiny amount, but are forced to buy necessities or even food to supplement meager diets from the facility store. So there is none left over. Money sent from home goes into the guards' pockets. In the prisons, they manufacture heavy equipment and agricultural machinery, wind power generators and electrical substation equipment, fertilizer, bricks, and all manner of industrial production in addition to the prison labor in the special economic zones where there are food processing plants that produce frozen foods for domestic and export, In one province, one of the electrical utilities has production in several prisons that makes their equipment. Just to name a few examples. Forced labor makes the Chinese economy tick right along and enables them to sell many products at a substantially lower price than even other Chinese sources. Slave labor? Well, they can't just walk out an get a better job somewhere. [link to www.upholdjustice.org] This is the most extensive collection of evidence but not the only one. Those places are in effect, slave labor institutions. *** To answer the original question. I have avoided products made in China for over 12 years, and have not suffered any serious inconvenience. Sometimes it is absolutely unavoidable, but usually not. One thing I have noticed in recent years is a trend away from Chinese products, especially in clothing. No matter where you are in the world, your nation supports the slave labor factories in China. Americans are not the only market. Nobody can feel superior, every country has sold out. Their cheap goods have even driven local African products out of the markets. They call the cheap Chinese products zhing zhong in Zimbabwe. *********** WaterLily *********** " Do I dare Disturb the universe?" -- T. S. Elliot, Love Song of J.

The German GOVERNMENT told their corporations that if you try to ship our jobs to China like America did we will slap you with such high import tariffs that you will won't be able to sell anything to Germany. America's so called Libertarians are against Government for reason such as this. They want Government weakened to the point where corporations have NO responsibility to the Nation only the shareholders. 99% of the so called Libertarians and Conservatives are just stupid dupes who follow along without reason. |

Is to cause skyrocketing of the price of commodities unto us and others as well. Sinking of others economies and this hurts us as well. All because we live in a nation that has made no real effort of offering us anything much to work at. And whose fault is that? Our own people in high seats. If they can tank even the McDonald's and Taco Bell they will. That is what they have been doing tanking, dozing over plowing under. Planting nothing in return. I see Chinese auto production and many other things as well and see not slave camps. You will always have the lower class of skimmer merchants that set up their shops, but they are not the same as the majority of large manufacturing.

Perhaps you do not see labor camps, but they are a fixture of the China Communist Party's structure, as are the prisons and brainwashing centers. Every province, every major city has labor camps, you can look on the internet and find telephone numbers for them. Just because you do not see them from here, it doesn't mean they aren't there. And I am not talking about low paying sweat shop jobs, I am talking about forced labor, slave labor. And that is verifiable. *********** WaterLily *********** " Do I dare Disturb the universe?" -- T.
