6-year-old girl finds China prisoner plea in Tesco charity card

It is just fake but a six-year-old girl who found a message from a prisoner in China inside a Tesco Christmas card has said she "thought it was a prank". Florence Widdicombe told Sky News "it was really weird" to find the note in the charity card. The message read: "We are foreign prisoners in Shanghai Qingpu prison China. Forced to work against our will. Please help us and notify human rights organisation."

This is far-fetched & unsubstantiated.

- Foreign prisoners aren't used for penal labour.

- Penal labour isn't used for export market (this gets audited regularly)

- There's no link between Qingpu Prison & the manufacturer. 

- The note could have been written during transit at any point.

- The burden of proof is on the accuser, not the accused.

 

Speaking of the accused, here he is

 

Chinese Foreign Ministry response:

 

Worth noting, Humphreys is a bullshit artist. His own son admitted he was guilty of crimes in China, he walked into a trap by his employer GlaxoSmithKline when they wanted to get some dirt for blackmail to use in a major lawsuit. Humphreys has since been trying to clear his name & making up all sorts of claims about Chinese prisons.

I said it was fake. I just wanted to see if you were triggered and if you would write a novel. You really nailed down that is impossible that China used forced labor in the printing of charity Christmas cards. It's all a hoax as always.

I had this one locked & loaded. It never passed the smell test. Prisoners don't get tasked to make paper products, they make heavier stuff & it's a major no-no for penal labour to be used in export markets. China was doing it back in the 90s but not since. For some reason it's fine to use penal labour but it's a human rights abuse if the products go to export, even to countries like yours where slavery of inmates is still in the constitution...

The burden of proof is on the accuser. All you have is a card with a hand-written note. Keep going monkey, you'll get there mate.

IT'S FAKE DUMBFUCK. China is paradise. It's a freedom utopia. The card was 100% a hoax. It had to be.

The lies get picked up by anyone to just perpetuate the hoax. Sad. Please post the official statement from the Chinese government. That will be the truth.

Maybe you should join the Falun Gong? You definitely fit the bill. If you come here you can use it to get residency under a persecuted religion pretext, word is they'll pay you $100 a day. I'll wave to you as I drive by the Chinese embassy each morning ;)

 

I like how in that video they show people sleeping at their desks - something very common in China - after lunch they have an hour siesta...but they spin it as "they were so exhausted they fell asleep on the job". LOL.

 

The rest of it is random unverified footage of awful scenes, lady crying, etc etc. Why don't you learn not to be so gullible man? You only have 1 life to live.

All lies obviously but an official Chinese government denial would have really nailed it down.

You'd believe anything if it's in a mainstream media clip & vilifies China.

 

On some other topics you can show critical thinking but it flies out the window on this one.
