    i dunno i think not dying of starvation is a great human right to have

    If you believe that the state has the right to enforce poverty on one group of people

    since no one seems to give a shit about the Uyghurs.

    yes, they are making rice in the deserts of xinjiang using slave labor because there’s a shortage of farmers in china. no wait the article is about sichuan

    and the gov’t isn’t doing sufficient to make up for the loss of revenue

    yes the chinese government is famous for not supporting it’s agricultural sector

    I would say that if the state expects people to do labor, then the state should be expected to pay for that labor.

    meanwhile the united states actually does use slave labor in the deserts of california, but nobody seems to give a shit about americans
