  I don’t see what this has to do with the fact that China utilises slave labour from a religious minority group they are currently genociding to aid in their construction and manufacturing sector.

  To my knowledge, you go to prison in the US when you commit a crime, as opposed to a labour camp where you are sterilised then made to build Fords under threat of death.

    America also uses slave prison labour

    And America has more incarcerated people than China, despite China having way more people.

  Thank you for the reference link.

  China has one hell of a footnote:

  There no way in Hell a country with a population in the billions has lower incarnation numbers than one with a few hundred million. That is just statistically impossible. It all comes down to what you count as incarnated. This is like the US “solving” its unemployment crisis by not counting people who think about maybe looking for work sometime as not unemployed. These numbers are self reported, so they should be taken with a big grain of salt.

  Because China executes at a rate 100x the US, that we know of, believed to be 1000x.

  They also have 100x we many executions as we have, probably closer to 1000x.
