China has more stringent laws against child labor than the USA. In China it is suspected that 10 million children are in the workforce. In the USA it is suspected that 6 million children are in the workforce. China has over 4 times the population of the USA and over the last decade has been restricting the use of child labor more and more. In the USA, regulations against child labor are being relaxed.

China has more stringent laws against prison labor than the USA. In China, there are about 1.6 to 1.7 million prisoners at any given time. In the USA, there are 1.3 million. Yet in the United states upwards of 1 million prisoners must engage in prison labor and an uncounted amount that are not prisoners but as part of non-prison sentencing must "volunteer" at places like chicken packing plants. In China we cannot know exactly how many people do prison labor, because western propaganda says their prison labor numbers are 2 million to 16 million prisoners despite the fact that we know only 1.7 million people are prisoners. American prison labor is used in goods from Walmart to Target.

If you buy "Made in the USA" goods you are support a regime that exploits children and slavery. If you shop at Target or Walmart or many other chain outlets you support these things. I'm not even being facetious.

Have you considered that every Chinese person is a prisoner in their own country, and therefore a prison laborer?
