> LOS ANGELES. Chinese dissident and human rights activist Harry Wu is
asking Americans and West Europeans to not buy their children Christmas
and Hanukkah toys with the label "Made in China." "If you find out the
toys are made by forced labor and if you care about the human rights
abuses ... I would suggest you don't buy the toys," said Wu, 59, who
spent 17 years in Chinese forced labor camps. Toy industry statistics
show that at least 60 percent of toys bought in the United States come
>from China. Items made in the labor camps include Christmas tree lights,
 artificial flowers, auto parts, garments, baseball caps, rubber shoes,
graphite and hand tools, he said.{AFP/FRANCE}
