It is a courageous trip for Mr. Harry Wu to go back to China a few weeks 
ago. He was already a well-known figure and it was clear that a journey
to China would be extremely dangerous under the current situation. He
is no doubt a hero. You may call his action a revenge. However he has
shown the guts to take actions for millions innocent Chinese who died or 
have been tortured in Chinese labor camps for political or simply no. 
reasons. It is incomprehensible for me that how someone like you could feel 
comfortable to wear a pair of socks or shoes that were made by Chinese
coolies back to Chinese labor camps? What kind of Chinese job security you
were talking about? It seems to me that you were telling the world that
come to China to abuse Chinese because Chinese can take more abuse simply 
for jobs of a few cents an hour. You have to get yourself clear that the
winners in the games of poor Chinese working conditions are corrupt CCP 
officials and American importers/exporters, not your poor Chinese workers.
Why it is wrong for Mr. Wu to testify the truth in front of Congress? You 
are not a businessman. Why do you choose the side of corrupt Chinese
officials and American importers/exporters?
