China's Exploitative Cotton Factory

These workers seemed to be dyed black just like the contaminated cotton. Each of them was black from head to toe. The white surgeon's mask worn by a worker had black marks at the mouth and nostrils. (The Epoch Times)

Due to the extreme temperatures, almost all workers labored in the exploitative factory naked to the waist. (The Epoch Times)

One very young laborer looked to have been responsible for processing the various colors of collected worn-out cloth. His many hours spent in the factory had dyed his hair a lifeless pale red, like dead grass. It was quite painful to rest eyes on this ruined youth. (The Epoch Times)

"This exploitative cotton factory was located next to a funeral parlor in Hankou, Wuhan City. Most of its ingredients came from the used and dirty cotton cloth retrieved from the funeral parlor's garbage."

Given that last statement I am taking this story with a grain of salt. Either that funeral home is the biggest in the world or someone is lying to try and make a bigger issue out of this then it really is. meaning an equal rights activist group, which is fine but stretching the story only makes the look like idiots in my mind

This is so disgusting.
Thanks for posting Jack.

I like your tag line Shots.

Did you see Dick Durbin’s speech on the Senate floor after the amnesty bill was defeated.
He said he knows several illegal aliens, mentioned how he knows them, one he even grants an emergency visa to every year.
He should be reported.
Wonder how you can get a copy of that speech.

Last I checked a well known mail order catalog company located in the northeast sold a lot of goods from China, which is why I won’t give them my business anymore.

However, I’ve found Land’s End to be very good about putting country of origin and manufacture on the items. And their stuff is great quality. It lasts about forever.

[sweetiepiezer]

Most times if you see an item on qvc or hsn, you can check their website on that item to see where it comes from.
A lot from China.

No I did not catch his speech after the vote old whats his face with parkinson’s or whatever got up and I an not stand his ramblings so I changed channels. Darn do I hate that when I forget a name but he is from the south and old enough to be father times grandfather and has no business being a senator at his age.

I’ve seen so many pictures of these poor people and yet, I’m still shocked, anew, by it.

All most Americans seem to care to hear is the price of the clothing.

[Calpernia]

Did you see this one?

[metmom]

This just makes me sick, and more determined than ever to not buy anything from China.

[metmom]

Would this qualify as a moral issue?

And would it be appropriate for the other ping lists as much of the labor used to manufacture goods is prison and slave labor, including those persecuted for their religious beliefs?

[nw_arizona_granny]

It is wrong to use people or animals, as slaves.

But that is the communist way.
