Made in China Halloween Decorations Contain Letter from Labor Camp

[TradeNurkicNow]

"If you occasionally buy this product, please kindly resend this letter to the World Human Right Organization. Thousands people here who are under the persicution of the Chinese Communist Party Government will thank and remember you forever."
The graveyard kit, the letter read, was made in unit 8, department 2 of the Masanjia Labor Camp in Shenyang, China.

Chinese characters broke up choppy English sentences.

"People who work here have to work 15 hours a day without Saturday, Sunday break and any holidays. Otherwise, they will suffer torturement, beat and rude remark. Nearly no payment (10 yuan/1 month)."

Ten yuan is equivalent to $1.61.

"People who work here, suffer punishment 1-3 years averagely, but without Court Sentence (unlaw punishment). Many of them are Falun Gong practitioners, who are totally innocent people only because they have different believe to CCPG. They often suffer more punishment than others."

Fascinating. I wonder if it's true. If so, it's kind of chilling to think of the conditions and so forth those people live under. If not, what a great way for a union to make inroads.

As the specific location is given, I would think an investigation should be not all too difficult. It also makes me think twice about buying anything made in China.

That shit is true, without a doubt. http://www.bloomberg.com/slideshow/2012-03-30/inside-apple-s-foxconn-factory.html#slide9 don't think Mac/Apple is the only offender in need of these.

You may be right. I mean, my personal opinion is that the letter is real.

That's where deregulation takes you. China needs to stop using policies copied from our Republican party. China needs more OSHA-like rules in the workplace, enforced upon owners and managers. Am I right, Republicans?

(Heh heh heh...)

"assembled" in the USA!

i saw a frisbee that was made in mexico, then shipped to china to be printed on, then shipped to america to be sold, seems weird that its cheaper to ship it around the world than to just print it in mexico...

That's their problem. Just because they are misguided doesn't mean I am happy about their shitty situation.

I don't use Apple products, no. But I can see how someone might think I'm some insufferable hipster, so it's a common mistake.

Accepting how the world works and actively not giving a shit about injustice that you support are two very different things.

That is actually pretty cool, thanks. However, my point still remains:

Are Lotus PCs made from foreign components?
It is simply impossible to manufactuer a computer made entirely of US-origin parts, much like cars or other complex products. In fact, it's virtually impossible to build computers with non-Chinese components. Our systems are a product of today's global market, where a single computer could be made from parts produced in a dozen factories, in several countries (including the USA). However, the our PCs are still put together here.

The fact is that the majority of electronics contain coltran, the majority of which comes from slave mines in the DRC. The component parts are then assembled in China or Taiwan via sweatshop labor. It's nice that a company like the above exists and is supporting American labor and local economies, but there is no getting around the injustice that goes into building our electronics (all electronics, not just apple products.)

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

we're called consumers for a reason.
