>As Tim's comments show, there are a bunch who, despite China's nearly
complete capitulation to capitalist economics, continue to defend their
brutal anti-labor policies. At this point, China is far worse than almost
any country's economic policies, since they combine capitalist laissez-faire
towards workers with brutal undemocratic anti-union policies.
-Nathan, As I said before, you are living in la-la land when it comes to -analyzing the AFL's foreign policy. To say that people like me who opposed -the anti-PNTR campaign of the AFL and the Naderites are "defend(ing) China's -broad anti-labor policies" is insulting
Really? You condemned the AFL for trying to stop a trade deal with China because you argued that it was unfair to treat China differently based on those policies. Since the AFL has fought every other trade deal this decade, even that argument was pretty weak.
So let's settle this and see if my characterization is unfair. Do you agree or disagree that China has the worst antiunion policies of any large nation in the world?
