    Tell it to the 13th Amendment:

    Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction

    Coincidentally, those convicted parties are predominantly Black.

      Person A: it’s bad that China is bad.

      Person B: OMFG but USA bad too!

      Like, do you actually think this is a real defense for China’s behavior? Or are you just blustering because you understand there is no defense and that hurts your world view?

        The OP claimed China has a competitive edge from prison labour. I disproved that statement.
