ESSAY ON: Forcing Change in Chinese Manufacturing Sweatshop Conditions

Number of Pages 6

This research paper: A 6 page paper discussing alternatives for effecting change in Chinese manufacturing practice. The paper discusses three alternatives: international pressure from the WTO; Congressional import embargoes; and pressure from US retailers selling Chinese-made goods. Pressure from the WTO should be undertaken, but only as a long-term plan for improvement. Because China now is a member of the WTO, the US is prohibited by GATT 1994 Articles XI and XIII from imposing discriminatory prohibitions of Chinese goods into US markets. Consumer boycotts of large companies selling Chinese-made goods, however, is an effective measure that can have the most immediate results. Companies such as Gap, Nike and Toys “R” Us have come under such consumer pressure that they now police the contract manufacturers they use to ensure that the goods that they sell do not originate in Asian sweatshops. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
