China ‘deeply concerned’ about forced labor revelations in US after Indian workers file suit alleging abuse

The Chinese Foreign Ministry has raised concerns over forced labor practices in the US after media outlets reported that hundreds of Indians had been recruited to build a Hindu temple in New Jersey at a rate of $1.20 an hour.

This is it guys time to spam this news on all chinese owned english media, local media and other chinese controlled overseas media and spam it tirelessly. A narrative and a legit news that needs to be explored just like the US spammed against China. This is a golden narrative and it has served itself. This needs to be shared endless and spreading it to the world

These people were here on a R Visa, there is no wage requirement for this visa type and it is intended for priests, ministers and such. Clearly this Indian institution abused US visa regulations by bringing in Indians for construction work - time to shut this temple down.

The lawsuit says more than 200 workers — many or all of whom don't speak English — were coerced into signing employment agreements in India. They traveled to New Jersey under R-1 visas, which are meant for “those who minister, or work in religious vocations or occupations,” according to the lawsuit.

Suit: Workers lured from India paid $1.20 per hour for years

A lawsuit says workers from marginalized communities in India were lured to New Jersey and forced to work more than 12 hours per day at ultra-low wages to help build a Hindu temple

China is concern for everything except the Uighurs kept in concentration camps and Chinese police is sent to sleep there with their wives. China's concern for human right is very well known for centuries

This is just proof of China's Wolf Warrior diplomacy and aggression.I think the American media should hype it up rather than silence it.

Americans have always turned a blind eye to the real Chinese threat and invented all kinds of Hollywood-style fictitious stories.Just like last year when China launched two ballistic missiles from 4,000km and 1,500km away respectively, simultaneously hitting a 5,000-ton ship moving at high speed.Americans are very quiet.

But then the Americans test-fired Minuteman 3 missiles as if trying to prove something.Does anyone doubt America's nuclear weapons?Please be confident and don't be afraid.

Its funny how Americans shills cry victim when abusing and exploiting Indians and other ethnicites, then 5 seconds later flaunt about all their "intellectual property" while carefully glossing over all the researchers Chinese and Indian names.

Reminds me of that recent lawsuit of a U.S. cangaroo court awarding compensation for a Western company dodging taxes in India.

I think they also misrepresented the VISA entry requirements.

These people are essentially day laborers, they cannot satisfy the requirements of being religious workers at all. Typical Bhakt dhokeybaaji.

ABAP - the organization which is building these temples in the East and West Coasts of the US is a fascist, not a religious organization. ABAP has direct connections with BJP/RSS. The compound and campus in both of these temples will be used to indoctrinate Hindus in fascist RSS/Shivsena training.

I have nothing against folks going and praying in their temples, but indoctrinating kids in fascism is quite something else.

The temple officials that will come to the US should face scrutiny on their Visa applications. There should be enough noise made in the media to make our congresspersons aware of these issues.

Having membership in fascist organizations is direct and immediate cause of US visa refusal. No questions asked. How do the temple priests get visas?

If found to be dishonest on visa application after the fact (that they are religious workers), it is also a cause of deportation for these laborers and workers.

How these Bhakt morons got the workers past these Visa anti-fascism requirements is beyond me.
