Paradox II (Dec 11 2003 18:55 GMT) - Here's another quote from the article on the Chinese terrorists: But Brad Adams, executive director of the New York-based Human Rights Watch's Asia division, said the United States "should not even contemplate returning ethnic Uighurs to China." "Any assurances from China that it will not mistreat returnees would not be worth the paper they are written on," he said. If the Bush Administration ends up taking this position, then I would like to know what makes them believe that trade agreements with China are worth anything. If the only evidence against the theory that American manufacturing jobs are being lost to Chinese slave laborers is the word of the same Chicom government, then free trade with China is harmful to everyone involved. |
