Bill Clinton's MFN with China - while China used prison labor to manufacture goods to sell in USA
And YES - even the students who demonstrated for Democracy in Tiananmen Square were forced to manufacture goods sold here in the USA
Prison labor also serves a practical
purpose: the sixteen to twenty million people currently serving
time in China's prison camps are vitally important to the Chinese
economy.76 Their forced labor provides goods which are secretly manufactured
in prison specifically for export to Germany, Japan, and the
United States.77
According to the constitution and the laws of China at the time,
once a citizen is labeled a counterrevolutionary rightist, he or she is
subject to internment.32 At the discretion of Party officials, those accused
can be sentenced to reeducation through labor.33 Neither formal
charges nor hearings are necessary, and there is no avenue for appeaI.34
This is an official policy which has endured even to the present.35
A sentence of reeducation through labor can still mean an indefinite
stay in one of the many labor reform camps located throughout
China today.
Since 1989 and the terror of the Tiananmen Square incident,
some scrutiny, by the United States in particular, has been placed on
China's human rights record
