Forced labor in Chinese sweatshops? (wages, Clinton, government, 2013)

[knowledgeiskey]

This was a letter found in a shipment.

The Chinese government wants its citizens occupied, so they won't revolt.

Not every country is too lazy to learn more than one language.

I don't know if it is real. I just know i saw that same letter several years ago.

I know people who go to china all the time and stay there for several months. I have turned going there to work down several times...

No one I know who has been there has related anything about the working conditions and I bet they are harsh. But i don't know if the letter is real. I expect the wages are very low.

I build machines that go there and have for the past 6 years and can't understand why the Chinese haven't copied these machines, but maybe they can't. They usually copy any patented materials they get anyway.

I know that place is a EPA nightmare. I know their engineers are horrible bad.. I know they add toxic waste for many sources into things we buy. That can be in pet food, baby formula and anything.... toxic waste can be in rubber and foams and even sheet rock..

The Chinese are still communists and Bill Clinton had no business cutting deals with them and selling us out.

So far as i am concerned the chinese are their own problem.

They have no rights... they have no civil rights, and they have no humanitarian rights. They own a big hunk of our debt too and if we make any demands they will just laugh in our faces..

Right now the HMFIC over there is high on a pipe dream due to that space launch the other day...

Oh the peasant class can't revolt, and the elite class don't want to revolt. The peasant class there are plain helpless. They likely do work for 15+ hours a day for those who get paid. The rest farm to feed the masses.

Life is cheap over there and labor is cheaper.


google beijing weather, so you don't take my word for it...
