The Chinese Government Is Working Worldwide Infrastructure Projects, Utilizing Captive Labor.

[gervaso81]

A buddy recently observed an massive public works project in Antigua. The project was financed mostly by the Chinese, and the job teams are all Chinese criminals There are no weapons or guards. Escape is punishable by retribution on their household's in China.The criminals get time-off their sentences due to their labor.These tasks are presently going on throughout the Caribbean basin...The Chinese are spreading effect on the inexpensive, even though we're playing around the center east attempting to modify Arabs into Republicans, and going broke.Feel there is anything amiss with this distinct image?? Do you take into account the Chinese will be showing America how to proceed?? We can not contend with slave labor.

They call it "crime of the state." Actually, it really is freedom of thought and freedom of belief, but when you are a dictatorial Communist regime, those two items actually are crimes against the state simply because any individual who really thinks wouldn't be a Communist(unless one had been on their payroll.) So I'm not shocked at their expanding their use of slave labor, and who cares about Globe Trade Organization guidelines about fair play? I'm certain half of our toys(the ones with cadmium and lead in them) are created by slave laborers(and what does the cadmium and lead do to them?) "Do you feel the Chinese will quickly be telling America what to do??" Duh. They personal $1,000,000,000,000+ of our debt. Of course they will: "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be ready" (Revelation 16:12). "America! Join us in  this invasion or spend up now!"

I fail to see the problem You have the Chinese, a known despotic government, using their citizens(who happen to be prisoners) doing contracted work for Antigua,(which presumably knows that the Chinese are using prisoners).  Antigua doesn't seem to care whether they use prisoners or paid laborers.   The workers are in a different part of the world than China; they are presumably being fed and live in some sort of dormitory, and they are doing useful work and learning skills.  I have no doubt that their living conditions are far better than they would have in the prison in China.   I don't see the problem.    You may say it is a human rights issue; I would say that the prisoners are likely better off in Antigua then in China.   Your observation is that Chinese are undercutting American workers in Antigua.  What do you suggest?   American citizens are so greed minded that they would not work in a job where they get paid so little.   Unless the US decides to be competitive by sending our prisoners over there(which the ACLU won't let anyone do(, the US has taken itself out of comeptition.   Back to my question:  so what?

The Chinese have been kidnapping my brothers and sisters for free labor since 1949. They call it "crime of the state." Actually, it's freedom of thought and freedom of belief, but when you're a dictatorial Communist regime, those two things really are crimes against the state because anyone who actually thinks wouldn't be a Communist(unless one were on their payroll.)

"Do you think the Chinese will soon be telling America what to do??" Duh. They own $1,000,000,000,000+ of our debt. Of course they will: "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared" (Revelation 16:12).
