Many of you probably don't think where your gadget or other product with the "Made in China" sticker on it came from(other than China). You have no clue of the conditions of the workplace that said item came from and like most other people you take that item for granted. Just recently this letter was found in some Halloween decorations purchased in a K-Mart.

The purpose of this thread is to discuss the working conditions of said camps, and what the global community can do. Please try to keep politics or any relating points of discussion.

Damn, you'd think that guy could have learned some goddamned english before asking someone in this country for help.

(I'm sorry that was terrible of me)

But honestly? This is the internet. Worse, this is the flood. As long as you're asking us to do something, you might as well go try to get /b/ to pour their pockets out. I'm sure there's a lot of energy you could channel into getting something done, but the thing is, people have been trying to push the political gears of countries like china for decades, and an unorganized, ragtag group of guys from the flood isn't going to get anything done that, say, the United Nations hasn't.

All I can really say is that I hope that letter was, in fact, forwarded to the appropriate international authorities.
