The Chinese have enslaved their entire factory working population in effect, forcing hundreds of millions of small holders off their farms and into the cities, where they don’t have residency, and are illegals, to work at factories on 6-12’s, 6 days a week, 12 hours a day, for starvation wages. If they complain they can be jailed, beaten up, thrown out of town on a word from their employer.
I know what you are going to say, China outlawed 6-12’s, but employers still make them work them and just pay them for the official hours. They have no benefits, no protection, no safety net. They sold out generations of their citizens to destitute poverty to garner western technology, and use the greed of wall street et al to build their factories for them in the process. All for investors to in effect arbitrage factory work, undercutting labor and environmental standards in a race to the bottom, building cheap, in foreign currencies, selling high in western currencies.
Their abuses of their citizens go well beyond the horrific way they’ve treated their restive minority populations.
