I was criticizing the human rights conditions under the Chicoms in general. I understand that those who work in factories making good for America do far better than most over there. I think the main problem we have with China is the fact that we are putting so much cash into the hands of the Chicoms and allowing them to remain in power.

On that point we agree. Unfortunately the history of China is rife with various forms of oppression - be it communist or otherwise. They have a way to go.
Personally I like the Hong Kong model but that implies Western colonialism, a concept I'm quite comfortable with.
