Slave Trade and Repression in China Charles R. Smith Chinese Concentration Camp Exports This November and December, as innocent children prepare to celebrate the winter holidays, Chinese sons and daughters slave under horrid conditions to provide cheap toys and presents. The stores are full of items from Chinese factories, and many of the gifts that you will buy for young boys and girls will have been made by slave labor in a concentration camp. The horrific truth behind the bright plastic and slick cardboard boxes can be found in an article titled "Where in China Are Your Dolls and Toys Made?" by Shizhong Chen. Chen makes it clear that many of the toys imported from China are made inside the Lao Gai prison camps by forced labor. Working 18 hours a day, or even non-stop for up to 40 hours at a time, punishes slaves held because of religious or political beliefs that conflict with Beijing. "The Lao Gai system is a machine of corporate fascism. With no worry about the source and availability of slaves, the captive workforce is driven to the limit, regardless of whether the prisoners are sick, disabled from being beaten, or weakened by the intolerable conditions," wrote Chen.

"There is no living condition to consider in labor camps and detention centers, as any improvement in conditions will subtract from profit. Prisoners are simply treated as objects from which to extract the maximum amount of labor, to be released when half-dead, and replaced with new ones," notes Chen. Nestle Makes the Very Best One product described by Chen is a line of toy rabbits produced by the Beijing Mickey Toys Co. Ltd. The toys are actually manufactured by prisoners at Xin'an Forced Labor Camp in Beijing. Nearly 1,000 detained Falun Gong practitioners were forced to make 100,000 toy rabbits, with no pay, for Beijing Mickey Toys Co. Ltd., subcontracted by Nestle. Prisoners were forced to begin work each day at 5:30 a.m. and continue until early the next day, seven days a week. The prisoners were not permitted to sleep for more than three or four hours between shifts. The toy rabbits were exported to many countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Denmark, Brazil, Hungary, Japan and Southeast Asia. Falun Gong practitioners detained at Wangcun Forced Labor Camp in Shandong Province were forced to make various glass products for Zibo Jiaye Company. The glass products were then exported to the U.S., South Korea and other countries. In another case, dolls for girls were made by Division Three of the Shanghai Women's Forced Labor Camp. Some were packaged and shipped, and others were sent to other locations for further processing or assembly. Slave-made Textiles Another Lao Gai factory described by Chen is the Masanjia Labor Camp. Prisoners work for extended hours under the most appalling conditions. The primary output manufactured by the women's section of the Masanjia Labor Camp is low-cost textile products. Outsiders know the No. 1 Female Camp as the "Shenyang Yihua Clothes Factory." Among its products are exported goods such as casual wear, sports suits and pajamas. Their handicrafts are also exported. Prisoners at the Heizuizi Labor Camp produce miniature Japanese human figurines for export to Japan. Other teams produce miniature birds and other items for export to Western countries such as the U.K. and the U.S. Thales, Cisco and Yahoo! Chinese authorities are not the only ones to profit from this modern mixture of oppression and greed. Chinese government jams foreign radio broadcasts using equipment made by the French group Thales. Dan Southerland, the vice president and executive editor of Radio Free Asia, said that equipment provided by French electronics manufacturer Thales allowed China to jam its broadcasts. "They are blocking our Internet site and also jamming our transmitter signals. It is a big struggle over the airwaves daily," stated Southerland in a recent article published by the AFP. The French are not the only Western nation supplying China with the tools to enslave, oppress and persecute. U.S. computer maker Cisco supplied the communist government with sophisticated software and hardware used to censor Internet messages and help Beijing track down Chinese cyber dissidents. In addition, U.S. Internet search engine giant Yahoo! agreed recently under court order to provide information that the Chinese authorities then used to track down and jail a journalist critical of the communist government. Gunsmoke China is also moving quickly to halt potential pro-democracy stirrings within its own borders through a series of restrictive new social measures. According to a new report issued by Chinese President Hu Jintao, China will take swift and horrible action to support the People's Republic of China's "counterrevolution" against democracy. The report, "Fighting the People's War Without Gunsmoke", declares that the Beijing government will increase censorship of the Internet and remove books that tackle critical subjects – such as national economic disparities – from libraries throughout China. There is a new force rising from the East. The malevolent power and unbending greed of communist China is spreading across the globe like a pandemic virus. It is the new Reich known as the People's Republic of China.
