Chinese-owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle technology, selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail stores, and hiring experienced engineers and designers in an effort to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic automakers and their suppliers. While starting with batteries and auto parts, the spread of Chinese business is expected to result eventually in the sale of Chinese cars in the United States. "The Chinese are well behind the Japanese when they hit our shores 30 years ago," said David E. Cole, a founder of the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich. "They lack the know-how, and they're coming here to get it." As businesses sprout up with little fanfare, Chinese companies seem to be trying to avoid the type of public opposition experienced by the Japanese automakers Toyota and Honda in the 1980s, when the sudden influx of foreign cars competing head-on with cars from General Motors, Ford and Chrysler was perceived as a threat to American jobs. In contrast to the Japanese, Chinese auto companies are assiduously avoiding the spotlight. Last year, the biggest carmaker in China, Shanghai Automotive Industries, opened new offices in suburban Detroit without any publicity, which is almost unheard-of in an industry that thrives on media coverage. But China's growth in the American auto industry is drawing notice in Washington. Last year, the Obama administration filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization that China's government was unfairly subsidizing the production of some parts shipped to America. And the country's inroads into American-made batteries and electric vehicles have drawn scrutiny because that sector of the industry has been heavily subsidized by the United States government. The American industry's overall resurgence has drawn a growing Chinese population to Detroit, with Chinese-owned suppliers bringing executives from their country and American automakers adding new talent. About 50,000 Chinese, many of them engineers and other professionals who work at General Motors and the Ford Motor Company, live in the metropolitan area. Business networks are growing too. The Detroit Chinese Business Association boasts a flourishing membership, and counts about 100 Chinese-owned businesses, mostly auto-related, in the region. The Ford Chinese Association, with 650 white-collar workers, predominantly from mainland China, has become one of the largest employee groups at the company. Its president, Raymond Xu, recalled that in 1999, when he came to Detroit to attend college, there were very few Chinese in the area. "I think people are going to get more and more comfortable with it," Mr. Xu said. Typical of the Chinese expansion are the nondescript offices of Changan Automotive in an industrial park in the suburban city of Plymouth. Changan, a major carmaker in China, set up a research center to better understand the structural chassis of a vehicle - then hired about 20 Detroit engineers, some of whom had been laid off from Detroit's auto companies, to staff the project. "Most of the engineers are very young in China," said Hong Su, the Changan executive heading the American facility. "They know how to make vehicles, but they don't know how to develop them."One of his employees is Alan Wall, 54, a former contract engineer at Chrysler who lost his job during the recession. "It was an opportunity," he said. "And those tend to come from a company that is trying to expand." Last year, China exported about $13 billion in automotive goods to the United States - tires, wheels and radios that are sold as replacement parts - according to AlixPartners, a consulting firm. But many Chinese suppliers are pursuing direct business with the Detroit car companies, which now get many of their most common parts from low-wage nations like Mexico. One supplier, Brilliance Auto , an industrial giant with about 500,000 employees in the city of Shenyang in northeast China, is still an underdog in Detroit, trying to crack an intricate network of suppliers that have long relationships with G.M. and the other carmakers. "We have been exporting our parts to North America for 15 years for the aftermarket," said Dongbin Chen, a Brilliance executive, referring to retail sales of replacement parts. "Now our biggest opportunity is with G.M. and the other big companies." Brilliance scored a coup last year by supplying lightweight engine mounts for the new Cadillac ATS sedan made by G.M. in Lansing, Mich., which has whetted the company's appetite for more. At a United States-China conference held here in November, Brilliance displayed a large exhibit showcasing a range of mundane parts - including seat belts, steering wheels and shock absorbers - that it hopes to export to America. "We have the ability and the capacity to supply these kinds of parts," Mr. Chen said. "And I think right now, it is very important for us to be here." In addition to Chinese companies locating in Detroit, a cottage industry of lawyers, accountants and corporate advisers has grown up to assist them. Their numbers are small now, but the impact of the Chinese on the local economy is slowly expanding. Industry analysts are hard-pressed to put a number on the Chinese suppliers operating in the United States. "We simply don't know how many there are," said David Andrea, an official with the Original Equipment Suppliers Association, a trade organization for auto parts makers. In one of the more prominent deals, the Wanxiang Group bought most of the assets of the battery maker A123 Systems, which filed for bankruptcy last year despite receiving $132 million of $249 million in federal grants to build two factories in Michigan. Congressional Republicans criticized the deal, saying A123's technology could support military applications in China. Still, the buyout was approved this year by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a federal government panel. Wanxiang, which has its United States headquarters near Chicago, has acquired several American auto parts and solar companies in recent years. But it attracted little attention until it took an interest in A123 Systems. "I wasn't surprised by the negative reaction," said Pin Ni, president of the company's American unit. "The reality is we grow here like a small seed into a bigger tree, and we cannot avoid this type of response." He said that Wanxiang employed several thousand American workers, and kept local management in place at companies it had bought. "We act, talk and walk like an American company," Mr. Ni said. "In the end, it's all about making money." Other Chinese companies are averse to publicity. Shanghai Auto is the largest carmaker in China and has major joint ventures there with G.M. and the German automaker Volkswagen. But when the company opened its new Detroit-area offices last year, even G.M. was surprised. "Since we do not do business with SAIC in the U.S., there is no connection between G.M. and the SAIC office in the U.S.," said Dayna Hart, a G.M. spokeswoman. The arms-length reaction underscores the sensitivity surrounding China's presence in the American industry. Only about 4 percent of Chinese-made light vehicles are exported now, mostly to countries in Africa and the Middle East. But the Detroit automakers are bracing for the day when competitive Chinese cars hit the American market. "The Chinese have a lot of money and they are moving fast," said Mr. Cole. "We're going to see a lot more of them here." The growth in the Chinese professional class has had a ripple effect on the broader community, as well, with Chinese community groups sponsoring youth soccer leagues, basketball tournaments and musical performances at Detroit Tigers games. One organization runs a Chinese soup kitchen every year at a local homeless shelter. Frank Chiu was an engineer for an auto supply company when he saw the growing number of Chinese professionals entering the industry and saw an opportunity. He left his job to open a Chinese grocery store in Canton, Mich, a bedroom community not far from Ford headquarters. "The timing was very good for this type of business," said Mr. Chiu, whose store features Chinese delicacies like chicken feet, snow fungus and pork uterus. As customers roamed the store around him, Mr. Chiu reflected on how much had changed since he moved from Taiwan more than 20 years ago. "What was it like then?" he said. "Lonely is the first word that comes to mind." At Ford, Chinese employees play an integral part in the company's expansion in China, where it is building several new factories. They also help prepare American executives for transfers to China, and play host to Chinese car dealers when they visit Ford's headquarters. On Feb. 14, hundreds of Ford employees celebrated the Chinese New Year at the stately Dearborn Inn, which was conceived by Henry Ford in the 1930s as a replica of an early American village, with guest cottages that copied the homes of historical figures like Walt Whitman and Patrick Henry. "We definitely see more openness to the Chinese culture," said Mr. Xu, the Ford Chinese Association president. "We started small here, but we are coming on strong." http://finance.yahoo.com/news/chinese-creating-auto-niche-within-012304652.html http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=42b_1368530160 Detroit Iron Chinese Creating New Auto Niche Within Detroit DETROIT, China Sun, 12 May 2013 18:58:14 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ccd_1368399130 plokiju Spy photos and animated video of LiJian (Sharp Sword) A pair of grainy photos shot at long distance could be the best evidence yet of Beijing's first jet-powered and presumably armed drone warplane. The images, one of which was cropped and enhanced by Internet users and has been reproduced here, first appeared to the wider English-speaking world on Thursday afternoon on the Secretprojects.co.uk web forum. The pics follow close behind the equally ambiguous photo debuts of China's two stealth fighter prototypes (in 2010 and 2012) and its homegrown heavy transport plane (this year). A far blurrier and even more ambiguous photo possibly depicting the new drone appeared on a Russian Website in March. "What's Chinese for, 'Here we go again?'" Aviation Week reporter Bill Sweetman quipped upon seeing the purported killer drone images. Consensus among China watchers is that the vehicle depicted in the photos is the Lijian, or "Sharp Sword," Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle, a collaboration between Chinese aerospace firms Shenyang and Hongdu. Powered by a single jet engine and resting on tricycle landing gear, the Sharp Sword UCAV seems to sport the flying-wing shape shared by several U.S.-made killer drones prototypes. The flying wing platform, also used by the U.S. B-2 stealth bomber, is ideal for radar-evading designs. Beyond its basic shape and possible radar-evading qualities, not much is known about the apparent new drone. But that doesn't mean the robot's appearance is unexpected. China has already unveiled a rudimentary prop-driven armed drone. And the latest edition of the Pentagon's annual report (.pdf) on Chinese military capabilities, released earlier this week, predicted a more sophisticated Chinese UCAV would soon make an appearance. "The acquisition and development of longer-range Unmanned Aerial Vehicles ... and Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles, will increase China's ability to conduct long-range reconnaissance and strike operations," the report stated. It's worth noting that China is the last major aerospace power to debut a jet-powered, low-radar-signature killer drone prototype. The U.S. has led the pack, test-flying no fewer than five UCAVs since the late 1990s and even bringing one unarmed variant, the RQ-170, into frontline service. Europe has the Neuron and Taranis models in development and Russia is working on a version of the MiG Skat. As drone developers all over the world have discovered, airframes are often the easiest part of the system to create. What's hard are the software, datalinks, control systems and payloads that transform what are in essence large model airplanes into effective robotic weapons. And it's with these key subsystems that China will likely have the most trouble. The Pentagon China report specifically lists "solid-state electronics and micro processors guidance and control systems" as technologies Beijing finds it easier to buy or steal from the U.S., Europe and Russia than to develop on its own. U.S. experts worried that China might gain access to some American drone technology via an RQ-170 that crashed in Iran in 2011. So far the Sharp Sword has apparently only been spotted taxiing along a runway on ground tests. It's not clear when its developers might attempt a first flight. Even less clear is whether, and how soon, the Chinese killer drone might enter frontline use. http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2013/05/china-first-killer-drone/ Lijian's combat radius covers the Western Pacific: analyst Following the release of internet photos of the Lijian, China's first stealth combat drone, Peng Tinghua, a military analyst, stressed on his mircroblog that this unmanned aerial vehicle will be able to attack all potential targets within the Western Pacific region. The Lijian is China's response to the push of most advanced countries to roll out unmanned aerial vehicles. The design of the aircraft relied heavily on Northrop Grumman's Dassault-designed X-47B, by the looks of the official photos released by the PLA Daily, the Hong Kong-based Wenweipo said. Peng stated that the range of the Lijian is about 8,000km, according to China Aviation News. It is not able to compare with the Global Hawk, another unmanned aerial vehicle designed by Northrop Grumman with a range of 14,001 kilometers, but the Lijian is still able to attack all potential target within the Western Pacific with a combat radius of 4,000 kilometers. "Since it will not be necessary for China to attack any targets within Europe or the continental United States," said Peng, "the Lijian will be enough for us to face potential threats over the Taiwan Strait, South China Sea and Western Pacific." Like the X-47B, the Lijian and other types of stealth combat drones can also be operated from the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. Under the direction of Beidou Navigation System, precision attacks can also be launched by Chinese unmanned aerial vehicles in the future. With enough confidence in China's defense industries, Peng stated that the PLA will eventually surpass the United States and operate its own Global Hawk around the world. http://www.wantchinatimes.com/news-subclass-cnt.aspx?id=20130512000097&amp;cid=1101 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ccd_1368399130 plokiju China's stealth UCAV ready for flight testing China, stealth, UCAV, ready, for, flight, testing, LiJian, Sharp Sword Fri, 10 May 2013 08:02:58 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=615_1368186708 BA1983 Wikipedia entries=Shenyang Military Region ,40th Group Army. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=615_1368186708 BA1983 Chinese army soldiers training screen china,PLA,army Wed, 13 Mar 2013 18:20:35 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=714_1363212888 plokiju 2013-03-12 - It appears that China may indeed be working to turn its second stealth fighter, the J-31, into an aircraft carrier-borne fighter. The chief designer of the J-31 (as well as China's current carrier fighter, the Shenyang J-15), apparently told China's Xinhua news agency that he hopes an improved version of the J-31 will be able to operate from carriers. As we've pointed out before, this wouldn't be too surprising. The J-31 is smaller than China's other stealth fighter, the Chengdu J-20, meaning that it would be easier to fit on a crowded carrier. The plane also strongly resembles the U.S. Navy' next-generation carrier fighter, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (click here to read more about that resemblance). Finally, it's got two wheels on its nose landing gear, a feature that is exclusive to U.S. naval fighters due to the increased stresses of carrier landings. The J-31 was unveiled last September and will likely compliment the J-20. It may be a multirole fighter designed to attack both air and ground targets in the same way the F-35 is meant to. The J-20's large size has caused many to speculate that it is meant to be a stealthy interceptor similar to the Soviet Union's legendary MiG-25 Foxbat. It would use its enormous engines to speed out and shoot down incoming fleets of attack planes. It may also be a stealth bomb truck designed to, again, speed out while evading enemy radars and attack ships and bases with bombs and cruise missiles carried in its large weapons bays - kind of like a 21st century version of the F-111 Aardvark. Meanwhile, China's first carrier the Liaoning (the refurbished Soviet carrier Varyag) recently moved from the Dalian shipyard where it was equipped with new engines, weapons, electronics, and living spaces to its new homeport Dazhu Shan near Qing Dao. China is said to be building two to three brand new carriers that may be based on the Varyag. These ships will reportedly enter service sometime between 2015 and 2020. 2nd video is called Doubts Over "Fifth-Generation J-31" http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=714_1363212888 plokiju China's second stealth J-31 may be a carrier fighter j-31, stealth, fighter, aircraft carrier Wed, 04 Apr 2007 11:04:53 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bc1_1175699093 zuru China, Shenyang, supermarket trials powered cart http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bc1_1175699093 zuru China, <span class="highlight">Shenyang</span>, supermarket trials powered cart china, supermarket, trials, powered, cart Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:00:04 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=845_1223496004 IdiotProof The backdoor route into North Korea. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=845_1223496004 IdiotProof Vice Guide to North Korea - Episode 2 - <span class="highlight">Shenyang</span> Vice, Guide, to, North Korea, Episode, 2 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 05:35:14 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a96_1358417920 wrano Smart hero or a fraudulent villain ... it's up to you people to decide ... 17th of January, 2013 A programmer at a US company outsourced his job to a Chinese contractor for a fraction of his six-figure salary. After handing over his login information, he spent his days on Facebook and perused cat videos while the Chinese firm worked in his name.'Bob,' as he has been dubbed in the media, had his cover blown when an external audit showed that a Chinese company had been logging in under his name. The audit revealed an active virtual private network (VPN) between 'Bob's' workstation and a firm in Shenyang, China. Suspecting a breach in their security system, the company's executives initially requested an audit from Operations Verizon. "Evidence even suggested he had the same scam going across multiple companies in the area," Andrew Valentine of Verizon said, adding that "he earned several hundred thousand dollars a year, and only had to pay the Chinese consulting firm about $50,000 annually." Verizon uncovered hundreds of PDF files and invoices exchanged between the Shenyang contractor and 'Bob.' Verizon said that the employee had sent his security credentials by Fedex to the Chinese company so they could log on with his username during working hours. "Authentication was no problem. He physically FedExed his RSA token to China so that the third-party contractor could log-in under his credentials during the workday. It would appear that he was working an average nine-to-five work day," Valentine said. Verizon revealed the Shenyang contractor had been working for 'Bob' for months, and had access to the classified files of the "critical infrastructure company." This gives rise to the question: What did Bob actually do during his workday? A look at the employee's Internet browsing history revealed he whiled away the hours updating Facebook, surfing Reddit and perusing the Web for cat videos. And at the end of every workday, 'Bob' would send a personal email to the management to safeguard his integrity. Official performance figures for the company where 'Bob' worked showed that he was the most productive developer in the building. 'Bob' has been described as "inoffensive, quiet" and talented, and is fluent in several different programing languages. Unsung hero or couch potato?The Internet lit up with comments after the story broke, with some praising 'Bob's' ingenuity and resourcefulness. One blogger opined that he was an "American hero," worthy of a medal. "Where's the problem? He improved his personal profit and the quality and efficiency of his work." However, Chinese users of Twitter-style social network Weibo were more critical of 'Bob's' work ethic. "Learn English and let's find work in US. Why do we have to do the dirty work for such a cheap price in China?" one Weibo commenter wrote. The real identity of 'Bob' has not yet been revealed, but he reportedly no longer works for the infrastructure company.

Cunning scheme netted him 'best in company' awards A security audit of a US critical infrastructure company last year revealed that its star developer had outsourced his own job to a Chinese subcontractor and was spending all his work time playing around on the internet. The firm's telecommunications supplier Verizon was called in after the company set up a basic VPN system with two-factor authentication so staff could work at home. The VPN traffic logs showed a regular series of logins to the company's main server from Shenyang, China, using the credentials of the firm's top programmer, "Bob". "The company's IT personnel were sure that the issue had to do with some kind of zero day malware that was able to initiate VPN connections from Bob's desktop workstation via external proxy and then route that VPN traffic to China, only to be routed back to their concentrator," said Verizon. "Yes, it is a bit of a convoluted theory, and like most convoluted theories, an incorrect one." After getting permission to study Bob's computer habits, Verizon investigators found that he had hired a software consultancy in Shenyang to do his programming work for him, and had FedExed them his two-factor authentication token so they could log into his account. He was paying them a fifth of his six-figure salary to do the work and spent the rest of his time on other activities. The analysis of his workstation found hundreds of PDF invoices from the Chinese contractors and determined that Bob's typical work day consisted of: 9:00 a.m. - Arrive and surf Reddit for a couple of hours. Watch cat videos 11:30 a.m. - Take lunch 1:00 p.m. - Ebay time 2:00-ish p.m - Facebook updates, LinkedIn 4:30 p.m. - End-of-day update e-mail to management 5:00 p.m. - Go home The scheme worked very well for Bob. In his performance assessments by the firm's human resources department, he was the firm's top coder for many quarters and was considered expert in C, C++, Perl, Java, Ruby, PHP, and Python. Further investigation found that the enterprising Bob had actually taken jobs with other firms and had outsourced that work too, netting him hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit as well as lots of time to hang around on internet messaging boards and checking for a new Detective Mittens video. Bob is no longer employed by the firm. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/01/16/developer_oursources_job_china/ http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f72_1358397227 Nurb Employee Outsources Job To China, Company Doesn't Like It. job, china, outsourcing, company, corporation, employee, developer Thu, 27 Dec 2012 08:13:10 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3e4_1356613432 Zipper10 Oregon mother Julie Keith expected to find Styrofoam headstones in the graveyard kit she bought at Kmart for Halloween. What she didn't expect was a desperate plea for help from one of the Chinese laborers forced to make the holiday decorations in brutal conditions. The 42-year-old charity worker from Portland discovered the chilling letter hidden between the two novelty headstones when she opened the kit in October. Plea for help: The letter, pictured, came in a box of Halloween decorations purchased at Kmart 'Sir: If you occasionally buy this product, please kindly resend this letter to the World Human Right Organization,' the unsigned note, that was folded into eighths, read. 'Thousands people here who are under the persicution of the Chinese Communist Party Government will thank and remember you forever.' The letter's author said the Halloween product was made in Masanjia Labor Camp in Shenyang, China, where laborers are forced to work for 15 hours a day without time off on the weekends and holidays. 'Otherwise, they will suffer torturement, beat and rude remark. Nearly no payment,' they wrote in choppy English accompanied by Chinese characters. The plea said workers at the labor camp make only 10 yuan per month - the equivalent to $1.61. The China director at Human Rights Watch, Sophie Richardson, told The Oregonian that the origin or authenticity of the letter couldn't be confirmed. Hidden: The letter was folded into eighths and hidden amongst the the Styrofoam headstones in the Totally Ghoul product, pictured 'We're in no position to confirm the veracity or origin of this,' she said. 'I think it is fair to say the conditions described in the letter certainly conform to what we know about conditions in re-education through labor camps.' China's re-education through labor is a system of punishment that allows for detention without trial. Masanjia labor camp is located in the industrialized capital of the Liaoning Province in northeast China. 'If this thing is the real deal, that's somebody saying please help me, please know about me, please react,' Richardson told The Oregonian. 'That's our job.' Keith certainly thinks it is genuine. She said she analyzed the product packaging and showed it to a Chinese co-worker at the Portland Goodwill store, where she is a donations manager, and they thought it looked authentic. 'I fully believe it is real,' she told Fox News , describing how the headstones where the letter was found were sealed together and the box was closed with tape. 'It had to come from where they said.' The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations is looking into the note. Keith said she had handed over the box of decorations and the letter to ICE agents to help in the investigation. Response: Sears Holdings Corporation, which owns Kmart, said in a statement that it was investigating the matter after the product was sold at one of its Oregon stores Keith actually purchased the box of decorations more than a year ago and only decided to pull them out this year because her five-year-old daughter was having a pre-Halloween birthday party. She said at one point she considered donating the unopened $29.99 Kmart graveyard kit. But she opened it and found the letter, which had travelled some 5,000 miles over the Pacific Ocean to get to her home. Keith's first instinct was to turn to Facebook to ask her friends for tips on what to do and to spread the message. LETTER PLEADS FOR HELP Sir: If you occasionally buy this product, please kindly resend this letter to the World Human Right Organization. Thousands people here who are under the persicution of the Chinese Communist Party Government will thank and remember you forever. This product produced by Unit 8, Department 2, Mashanjla Labour Camp, Shen Young, Liaoning, China. People who work here have to work 15 hours a day without Saturday (or) Sunday break and any holidays, otherwise they will suffer torturement , beat and rude remark, nearly no payment (10 Yuan/one month). People who work here suffer punishment 1-3 years averagelly , but without court sentence. Many of them are Falun Gong practitioners who are totally innocent people. Only because they have different believe to the CCPG, they often suffer more punishment than others. 'I found this in a box of Halloween decorations,' she typed beneath a photo of the letter. The post quickly prompted a flurry of responses. 'I'm sure that person feared for his/her life to include that letter in the products, but it was a chance they were obviously willing to take,' one friend wrote, according to The Oregonian. 'We take our freedom for granted!' 'What's weird to me is someone is actually thinking about, and praying something comes of this... every day of their life since they sent it out,' another wrote. 'Makes me sad this even happens.' Sears Holdings Corporation, which owns Kmart, said in a statement that it was also investigating the matter. 'Sears Holdings has a Global Compliance Program which helps to ensure that vendors and factories producing merchandise for our company adhere to specific Program Requirements, and all local laws pertaining to employment standards and workplace practices,' the company said. 'Failure to comply with any of the Program Requirements, including the use of forced labor, may result in a loss of business or factory termination.'

From a Chinese labor camp to the home of a US resident. On Sunday, the Oregon-based Oregonian newspaper reported a letter resident Julie Keith discovered inside a box of Halloween decorations. She bought it from Kmart in October. The box came from China-and according to the letter-it wasn't from a factory. Instead, the decorations were made here, at the Masanjia Labor Camp in Shenyang, Liaoning province. The letter claims detainees work 15-hour days and are paid less than $2 USD a month for forced labor. It says thousands are held there, and that many are persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. Former detainees at Masanjia have corroborated the claims in the letter. : "I was sent to Masanjia in 1999 and persecuted there. They produce handmade crafts for export. Most are plastic and are toxic. I was making Christmas decorations, and also knitted sweaters. I had to work from 5 in the morning to 11 at night." : "Aside from toilet breaks, we had to sit for the whole day, and make those products. There wasn't a day off, and we weren't fed properly. In our case, there was no pay for our work." China's labor re-education system is notorious for rights abuses. The system is used heavily in the Communist regime's persecution of the Falun Gong spiritual practice. In 2008, the US State Department estimated up to half of the 200,000 registered detainees in Chinese labor camps were Falun Gong adherents. Whoever wrote the letter discovered in Oregon did not sign it. But they did ask for it to be sent to human rights organizations. It is illegal in the US to import products made by convict labor and forced labor. The Oregonian reports that the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations are now looking into the claims. Sears Holdings Corporations, which runs Kmart, has also said it is holding its own investigations. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f1a_1356594281 plokiju SOS message from a Chinese labor camp found in Kmart product China, labor camp, message, SOS, falun gong, kmart, forced labor Mon, 12 Nov 2012 11:21:53 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ba5_1352737025 Lake8737 He was then arrested, safe and sound.
