Introduction by Andrew Nathan Foreword by Harry Wu Edited by Nicole Kempton and Nan Richardson From the coal mines of Sichuan to the high-tech factories of Guangdong, from the tea farms of Zhejiang to the textile factories of Hubei, the vast spiderweb of the Chinese prison system has its tentacles into every corner of the country, with over 3 million slave laborers working to make the economic miracle happen. With essays from leading Chinese scholar Andrew Nathan and leading dissident Harry Wu, this book discusses the wide range of challenges China faces: from freedom of expression to religious choice, from police brutality to state execution, as well as controversial issues like torture, organ trafficking, forced sterilization, and more.
