First, you shouldn’t trust anything made in China. Not because they’re not technically advanced or that they can’t create good products. They certainly can. In fact, in many cases they’re exemplary in the quality of what they create. It is the body politic that I’m concerned with. Because of the need for a better image due to the Olympics coming, the body politic in China is trying now to show that they are giving some freedoms, or improving things in the workplace. But just last week they executed-- shot in the back of the head-- the man who was the head of their FDA. Why? Because he had taken bribes and allowed some very bad ingredients to go into some products which could end up killing people. Now, that is their token gesture. It means nothing to them. They kill people every day. In fact, China executes more prisoners then all other countries in the world combined. And a lot of the people they kill are Falun Gong, which is a spiritual movement that is being persecuted by the Communist regime.
The Falun Gong is basically a meditative group with about 100 million members. It advocates adhering to three principle traits: truthfulness, compassion and forbearance. And the government has arrested almost one tenth of them, 800,000, in one fell swoop. No courts, no trials for most of them. And they put them in prison and use them for organ harvesting to turn a profit, which is a genocide and a crime against humanity.
People in other countries who are on a long waiting list for a heart, kidney, liver, etc., come to China and for the right price, get one within 24 hours. With 800,000 prisoners to choose from, it’s not hard for them to find a match for almost anyone. Yet both the Clinton and Bush administrations have refused to call it genocide. But when you take 800,000 people prisoner and you intend to use their organs, which is in effect killing most of them, that’s genocide. It’s against a specific group of people. Well, the State Department and Bill Clinton didn’t find it within themselves to call Rwanda a genocide, either, so should we expect more from Bush?
You shouldn’t be buying anything coming out of China out of respect for the people who are suffering at their hands. Prison labor is the worst in the world there. And then all the child labor. Just a few weeks ago they arrested some people for kidnapping workers to work in their mines. Now think about that for a moment. Just use reason and common sense. Do you mean to tell me that tens of thousands of workers who have been working as indentured slaves, taken prisoner, kidnapped and working in the mines, that the Chinese officials didn’t know this? Because nothing, I mean nothing happens in China unless the Chinese local political leaders are involved in it. They get kickbacks on every single thing. But this got some bad publicity because it got out. And once it got out into the world, then, once again, they have to make some kind of public token gesture. If they weren’t doing the Olympics, they wouldn’t do a thing, but now they had to go and arrest some people. Yet the people who own the mines won’t be arrested at all, just the people who did the kidnapping. That’s how it works.
China does more pirating of every kind of thing you can think of. They steal patents and copyrights left and right because no one there does anything about it. So I would not trust any product out of China, and certainly no food item. None.
So boycott anything coming out of China.
