It's awesome to say that sweatshops are wrong and that workers shouldn't be forced to live in difficult conditions. What's a plausible policy towards actually getting rid of sweatshops and improving welfare for the Chinese worker?

Ah, yes that little word "plausible". By inserting that word into your statement you get an automatic get out of jail free card when it comes to defending the exploitation of Chinese workers.

So what's your solution?

Letting the workers own and run the means of production, of course!

Considering the level of repression in China when it comes to things like these, if enough of a movement was started to unionize, why not go the extra bit and go full on collective ownership? It seems like to me the only way to avoid the sweatshop stage completely is to have workers own the means of production.

That's a pretty good post but I have one point I want to bring up. Are human rights the result of a (good) democratic government or vice versa?

Heh, I was going to ask about the political coup thing, yesterday I think I read something about how China was blowing up with reports of tanks in the streets of Beijing and fighting and poo poo. Wish I had the exact text in front of me but its at home.

Reminds me of the Chinese version of Roadwork by Stephen King.

What the gently caress are you talking about.

Fox News, which is a pretty broad brush to be painting the entire American media with.
