Chopin Nocturne Op.72 Child Slavery in Shanxi China 中国山西童奴

It has been estimated that there are at least 1000 child slaves working in the brick kilns of northwestern Shanxi. Besides child slaves, adult slaves have been found recently in Shangxi.

A Chinese reporter working for a Henan media, who tried to rescue the child slaves accused the local police in Shanxi as being totally unhelpful. Reportedly, the police even turned parents away by saying that the "slavery" was nothing more than labor dispute. Some parents have been sent away from the factories because of the collusion between local officials and the kiln owners.

According to an article in the Chicago Tribune, Liu Cheng, a professor of labor law at Shanghai Normal University, had a different explanation.

"My first reaction is that this seems like a typical example of a government-business alliance," Liu said. "Forced labor and child labor in China are illegal, but some local governments don't care too much." The local police, she said, were unwilling to help. Outside one factory, they demanded bribes.

That is NOT a communist party at all.

Without the spaces...

It is a fake communist party to start with! It is more like a Mafia state. Can you imagine that a government is enslaving its own people?

The so-called Chinese Communist Party does not provide its people with public health care, public higher education, public welfare, public retirement scheme, ... It should change its name to Chinese Mafia Party!

[CountChagny]

Your argument (mainly concluding arg. at 4:36) is pointless. After Central CCP was told of the atrocity, they tried to stop it (who would want slavery?). You should blame small provincial govt instead of Central CCP. It's not like Hu Jintao himself and Beijing leaders are doing this on purpose.

[noolympics]

CountChagny:

So many communist Party members are directly and indirectly involved in child slavery, sexy slavery, corruption, food poisoning, pollution, prostitution, covering up of AIDS, SARS, avian flu, smuggling of arms, ...

That's why with minimal salaries, communists can send their children abroad. When is this malfunctioning Mafia party stepping down? When is there universal suffrage in China? It's time for Chinese to decide how to exterminate this illegitimate government!

[CountChagny]

Ok, give me evidence that the Central CCP in Beijing is involved in all of these things you mentioned. Most of the evidence applies to the provincial governments, and therefore, the Beijing government needs to be granted more authority to rein provincial govts in.

The 64 massacre murderer Li Pan's daughter is running one of the biggest power plants in China. This communist has created serious air pollution in China and has never been sanctioned! 1. Why is she the CEO of the power plant? 2. Why is she so rich? 3. Why is Li Pan the murderer still so powerful and rich? The entire Chinese Communist Party is corrupt. Look at their minimal salary and one will wonder how the hell these corrupt dictators can send their kids to the U.S.!

[bingbingchen]

sorry to see this, it seems that the chinese government has never pay attention to the problems in shanxi problems, sucks, how many ppl die every year

[zielonybazyliszek]

Love Chopin - but not what I see on your video. Thank you for posting. All should know this...

[campusprowl]

theres a nice warm spot in hell for all those involved....

[toad9s117]

This is exactly why we should all boycott the Beijing 2008 Olympics and demand that our Governments do too.

When you buy Chinese made products, you are supporting this very thing.

[Caramonn]

it has nothing to do with chinese or non chinese. it is about powerfull or not. It is everywhere in the world but bad in China.

[Caramonn]

wake up it is not only in Shanxi. It is everywhere. corruption, bad police, mafia... minor, workers, farmers, children labour, no housing, little food sometimes, money stolen, fake projects. I witnessed this all the time I was in China through my different jobs. Some people suffer like hell. But they can not defend themselves. Chinese people must be aware of all this. This is why french people demonstrate when olympic flame was in paris, not at all against China or against the chinese.

[Caramonn]

this why Olympic games can be used to speak a little bit more about these chinese people conditions. Poor people. They deserve better and they are many in difficult conditions: farmers, minors, factory workers, construction workers... the chinese government must take the best decisions for all the chinese and chinese people must care about all. I love you China and chinese. But some things must change as much as possible.

[smukai2]

The chinese government only care about Chinese and there're lots of non chinese people in China.

They're making pots and shit at a kiln, Americans aren't consuming what they produce and i doubt this slave labor is comptition of american goods because, well- America doesn't really need clay pots do they... so save your moronic comments

[Hartmann1984]

Do you comprehend evidence as well as the entire scene of this child slavery event?

Why did this occur?

[aroguegurklis]

I think that everybody would benefit in the long run if the United States and the rest of the world stopped feeding this monster.

[Alias1983]

You're right. China is more like a mafia state. When I went to China I heard that alot of local mafia's are controlled by the cops and if there's a local Chinese business the cops don't like they will get their mafia to wreck it and when the victim reports it to cops they will ignore them.
