This book was released on 2014-08-03 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission's examination in 2008 of prison labor issues in the People's Republic of China (PRC), there has been little substantive reduction in the scale and scope of China's broad network of prison labor facilities. These facilities, led by local officials, continue to produce goods intended for export on a potentially large scale, in violation of U.S.-China agreements on the exports of prison labor goods to the United States. Although U.S. representatives in Beijing have continued to engage with their Chinese counterparts regarding suspected prison manufacturing facilities, the pattern of long delays and minimal cooperation by officials in the PRC Ministry of Prisons persists. Further, it is unclear whether the recent abolition of "reeducation through labor" (RTL) and reported release of up to tens of thousands of prisoners will have a significant impact on the prison labor system and export of prison labor products.

This book was released on 2012-08-04 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many human rights groups allege that the use of forced labor is a common and established practice in China. They assert that products of this forced labor are exported to other countries and that a substantial portion is sent to the United States. The Commission heard testimony that prisoners in China are incarcerated for their political views or because of their religious beliefs. Human rights groups have reported that conditions in the forced labor facilities are brutal, that medical care is poor and that workplace conditions are generally exhausting and dangerous. According to the Laogai Research Foundation, China's prison systems (Laogai) are an integral part of the national economy. That Foundation claims to have documented nearly 100-forced labor camps, producing $800 million in sales, and contends that the number of such camps probably numbers well over 1,000. It further contends that goods from Laogai are being imported into the U.S. The Chinese government maintains that products made by forced labor are not exported from China to the United States.

Book excerpt: A February Indie Next Pick, A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice, A Newsweek & Refinery 29 Most Anticipated Book of 2021, A Finalist for the 2019 J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award, In 2012, when Julie Keith opened a package of Halloween decorations she had purchased at a big box store near her home in Oregon, something shocking fell out: an SOS letter, handwritten in broken English by the prisoner who had made and packaged the items. The letter's author, Sun Yi, was a Chinese engineer turned political prisoner, an ordinary citizen forced into grueling labor for campaigning for the freedom to join a forbidden meditation movement. He was imprisoned alongside petty criminals, civil rights activists, and tens of thousands of others the Chinese government had decided to "reeducate," carving foam gravestones and stitching clothing for more than fifteen hours a day. In this page-turning and urgent book, investigative journalist Amelia Pang pulls back the curtain on the human cost of the cheap consumer products Americans take for granted. She goes deep inside a closely guarded network of laogai-forced labor camps-to tell the stories of men and women like Sun, as well as members of the persecuted Uyghur minority group, whose abuse and mass internment have provoked international outcry. Impeccably researched and bravely reported, Made in China is ultimately a call to action, urging us to think more critically about and demand more answers from the companies we patronize. Book jacket.
