On the recordFebruary 2, 1994
the issue that I would like to speak about is the issue of slave labor in China. As a beginning, let me say that Congressman Smith and I, several years ago, visited China, and we visited Beijing Prison No. 1, which is a prison camp operated by slave labor. There are many people from Tiananmen Square that are in this prison camp making goods and socks and shoes for the export to the United States. Now, we found inadvertently the Chinese were running these camps, and I think the American people should know that much of the goods coming into the United States are made by slave labor. So tonight I want to talk a little bit about that. The Chinese denied it. But I would like to submit into the Congressional Record a Library of Congress documentation that the Chinese did not tell the truth. In fact, it is clear to say that the Chinese Government has been caught in a lie. But we found these men who had been arrested for human rights in Tiananmen Square in prison.
