like all developing countries, the labour cost in china is very low. it 
is a fact that people are ready to work for a few cents an hour under 
poor conditions (probably even worse than that of the chain gangs). one 
of the reasons of adopting the open policy is to make full use of china's 
huge human resource by introducing foreign capital. so far, as many as 6 
million jobs have been created, largely in export-oriented sectors. could 
any one in the world have the a better idea to solve china's employment 
problem? if you are one of the workers there, i wonder which side would 
you choose? that of the US confressmen? do you believe their really care 
about poor chinese workers? a safer way is not to choose any of them? it 
seems to me that
low labour cost = abuse, poor chinese workers = coolies, coolies = labour 
camps, and labour camp = deaths and tortures of millions for political or 
simply no reasons.
