A Chinese cosmetics company is using skin harvested from the corpses of executed convicts to develop beauty products for sale in Europe, an investigation by the Guardian has discovered.
Agents for the firm have told would-be customers it is developing collagen for lip and wrinkle treatments from skin taken from prisoners after they have been shot. The agents say some of the company's products have been exported to the UK, and that the use of skin from condemned convicts is "traditional" and nothing to "make such a big fuss about."

Thailand is being touted as a cheap place for Westerners to have their surgeries performed. How many of these are transplants ?
This is an evil just as horrific as Menegle and Unit 731, during WWII.
I wouldn’t be too sure about that. Products are listed on that thread. Non discript; but still there.
I'm not following your train of thought.
Unions are responsible for coming up with cosmetic formulations and the decision to use human body parts in cosmetics ?
>>>>How many of these are transplants ?
I saw Thailand and thought of transgender operations.
Did you say China or Transylvania?
I’m guessing; but I think EndWelfare is saying Union demands contribute to production offices being moved offshore.
China is really all about this....

Where’s Amnesty International when you need them?
It's to die for?

Did Amnesty International Call For Kidnapping Of American Leaders?
Hmmmmmmm? I don't think that's what I was saying. What I was trying to say is Unions, and the gangsters that run them, will say or do anything to besmirch their competition. China is the Union's biggest enemy and while it sucks that China is killing political prisoners and using their bodies for skincare products, in my opinion, it sucks even more that union members working for American companies say nothing about the fact that those same companies use innocent babies which were murdered by their mothers and their mother's abortionists to accomplish the same end result the Union's mouthpieces in the media are accusing China of doing.
Do you follow me yet?
Yeah! That too.
the difference is American Unions are liberal,
give your skin care $$$ to china over a liberal
I will give my skincare $$$ to anyone that doesn't use human body parts or murdered children to make it.
This is my understanding of what you are saying: This story, albeit true, is an effort by American Unions to point the finger at China, where production of cosmetics has no shame in using human parts, gotten through vile, despicable methods, even though American companies derive their products through vile despicable means, only more surreptiously. But the American Unions won't talk about this, preferring to point the finger at their competition.
My quibble is "why are you laying this at the feet of the unions, instead of those scientists and business owners who come up with the formulations for these products ?" I don't see an American Union cited as a source for this information, only that it was an investigative piece by the Guardian, a flaming commie British paper.
I'm just not understanding why it is American Unions who are the main source of your concern.
Some years ago, I also saw photographic evidence posted on the internet, of bodies of babies being disassembled for use by American so-called medical research scientists, stuff that convinced me that there is an abortion "industry" that is adament in protecting its right to make money. There is a long chain of culpability, beginning with highly educated doctors, scientists, "technicians", corporate heads, financiers, and so forth, long before the end-of-the-chain workers. Why no vitriol directed at them ?
Thank Stalin for the Union worker structure.

The current issue of National Geographic has an interesting article on the rapid growth of business and housing in China. It gives a lot of insight into how things really are over there. Factories spring up overnight in abandoned warehouses, they poach experienced workers away from competing factories for pennies more. Workers routinely lie about their age in order to get work, some only 14 or 15. There is no political correctness; employers openly advertise who they want, 35 yuan for men, 25 yuan for women, no one from provinces we don’t like, “must be willing to eat bitterness and work hard”. Then the factory typically moves in less than a year to avoid rent increases and inspections. Thousands of sprawling apartment complexes are being built over farmlands, selling for up to half a million dollars to rich factory owners, built by worn-out workers for pennies. Profit is the only morality. And the pollution is staggeringly toxic.
