China Miners 2

I read that Communist Chinese officials canceled a meeting of union and business leaders aimed at getting multinational companies to guarantee workers in China basic labor rights.
The Chinese director general of international cooperation sent AFL-CIO President John J. Sweeney and other labor leaders a letter Friday calling off the meeting and revoking their visas, the labor groups said Monday.
Meanwhile, Playboy Enterprises Inc. is opening a club in Shanghai.
Playboy said it was partnering with a local company, Shanghai Entertainment Ltd., to open a 120,000-square-foot complex with three restaurants, a two-story disco, a two-story cabaret with skyboxes, a spa, a wine bar and a cigar lounge in Changning district, where many foreigners live and where Hooters of America Inc. recently opened its first restaurant.
When Cotton Incorporated opened their first office in Communist China part of the ceremony included painting in the eye of a dragon positioned in the office lobby. This ancient tradition leaves one of the dragon’s eyes blind - so that it can’t see what is going on behind it.
I think there is a problem with gaining so much for our nation by trodding these people into the dirt. A bible is not a fair trade for a living, breathing daddy, three square meals and a reasonably priced home. It is blasphemy to insist that it is better to refuse to aid someone in order to save them.
