allows the use of prisoners / slaves
to produce goods at a virtually labor-free cost.

"When open elections took place in Korea in 1987,
it became clear that it would be impossible
to stop labor unions from forming.
Nike's response
was to shut down the majority of its Korean plants
and to set up shop in Indonesia and China.
There they found
the appropriate repressive governments
to ensure that low wage factory workers
wouldn't form unions."

"A State Department report ordered by Congress . . .
accused China of religious persecution with beatings and raids
on private homes to 'suppress unauthorized religious groups.'
In the section on China, the communist country
was cited for sharply restricting religious freedom
in violation of a constitutional guarantee
that Chinese citizens 'enjoy freedom of religious belief.'"
