"The whole slave labor thing gets thrown in to create moral drama."

It's hyperbole - however, the liberals actually believe it. They think any1 working below the (unconstitutional) minimum wage is a slave.

The issue of slave labor in China is hyperbole?

Come on!

If you read back the thread you can't see that customs officials can even begin to identify the depth of the problem because the CEOs of American corporations and the Chinese are working in collusion to keep the information from getting to the public.

And to all the free traders--it is ruthless and unethical to use slave labor. But don't let that stop you from enjoying the money you're making off of other people's misery.

No, it's not hyperbole, and I'm not talking about US workers getting miniumum wage. I'm talking about *Chinese* prisoners in Chinese prisons. Some of them no doubt are felons who would be imprisoned in the US as well, but the vast majority are *prisoners of conscience* - people who either opposed the government, or were of the "wrong" religion, or both.
