Mar 8, 2012 - The west criticized China for it's human rights record long before it ever became a significant economic power. Quit making stuff up.

Mar 8, 2012 - Btw, I'm western, and I'm not white. Quit stereotyping.
jh30385 Says:
Mar 8, 2012 - Started what?
jh30385 Says:
Mar 8, 2012 - Won't happen. China's economy completely depends on Americans and Europeans buying the products they produce. Without the West, China collapses. Without China, the West crumbles.
jh30385 Says:
Mar 8, 2012 - You cannot compare conditions in the 1850s to 2012. That's like saying we shouldn't have criticized the Apartheid in South Africa because we had slaves in 1850.

Mar 8, 2012 - LOL. Al Jazeera is western propaganda???
jh30385 Says:
Mar 8, 2012 - I've never seen South Korea claim that birds mourned their late president. In North Korea, nature, stones and the heavens all wept when Kim Jong-Il died. You want to compare propaganda?

Mar 8, 2012 - US prisons have incentives to work. Chinese prisons make you work.

Mar 8, 2012 - China has survived worse, the chinese are the most resilient people on earth, if it comes down to it, China will live through it, can't say the same for white people and there lazy attitudes, can you imagine an american working for $1 a day doing efficient labor? Can you imagine americans living in slanty towns, all filthy and skinny?? Suicide rates will skyrocket

Mar 9, 2012 - that's different. of course north korea has the most extreme propaganda.

Mar 23, 2012 - Oh White this, black that, Chinese the other. How about fuck race and realise it's wrong. Humanity is the big fuck up that we all are to blame for unless we all sort our lives out and change our ways. Also familiarise yourself with this if a person has more money than the other then that person shouldn't care cause he is better off. Big mistake made by every country

Mar 27, 2012 - America needs this kind of systenm in china. lol
justposner Says:
Mar 30, 2012 - Prison is where criminals are punished. This is the right concept. Western countries have prisons that churn out more criminals because they are too comfortable in prison. Prison should be as harsh as this, making criminals afraid to commit crime and go back in there. I can never understand why Western countries are so nice and soft toward jail prisoners.

Apr 6, 2012 - Yes we need our prisoner to work for the benefit of the USA. We feed them why not work them. If they don't want to work let them eat the lowest quality food.
loodie07 Says:
Apr 9, 2012 - USA should do this. it's not bad at all. cheap labor. some of the money made can go into upgrading the prison. and the prisoners have something to do. it's better than sitting in a cell
deanmullen10 Says:
Apr 16, 2012 - You have to remember there are a lot of inmate who haven't really done anything wrong in there, in prison for freedom of speech, peaceful protest, questioning the government, exc. and I'm sure the food they get is very little.

williamng415 Says:
May 14, 2012 - I am sure California system is much better: It cost $47,102 to house a prisoner per year, we are allowing criminals to leave on probation early because of overcrowding issues. We are also using prisoners to make licenses plates, package holiday coffees, cutting airplane components, lingerie and leisure wear for Victoria's Secret and JCPenney, custom trays,bite blocks, and dentures for dental use, all at below min wage. We can't get our shit right and we wanna manage someone else.

May 21, 2012 - Very disappointed. I was expecting to see some real documentary with real evident. All i see is a dude's claim and some unidentifiable short video. 3/10 trustworthy.

May 29, 2012 - SOON as they take over get your asses whooped to work for them.. black ,white ,mexican, indian..get ready.
Terdmissle9 Says:
May 29, 2012 - Why is "Prison Slavery (i think they mean ordinary work for criminals instead of leaching off of government money all day doing nothing, amirite) " getting media coverage while there are millions of innocent children being forced into child labor as slaves? Fucking hell, stupid journalists.

Mar 6, 2012 - Ey. Westerners started this all, and your people were not able to control it, so, in a way, it is useless to point the blame into other countries.
