Activists Disappear Investigating Ivanka

3 ACTIVISTS WHO WERE INVESTIGATING FACTORIES IN
CHINA HAVE BEEN DETAINED.
ONE HAS DEFINITELY BEEN DETAINED AND
HIS WIFE HAS CONFIRMED THAT HOWEVER TWO OF THE INVESTIGATORS
JUST WENT MISSING.
NO ONE HAS HEARD FROM THEM AND THE
ASSUMPTION IS THAT THEY BEEN DETAINED.
A LABOR ACTIVIST
RESEARCHING WORKING CONDITIONS IN A CHINESE FACTORY THAT MAKES
SHOES FROM ME IVANKA TRUMP LABEL HAS BEEN DETAINED BY POLICE
WHILE TWO OTHERS HAVE GONE MISSING AND ARE PRESUMED ALSO TO
BE DETAINED.
2 OF THE ACTIVISTS WERE TOLD THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED
TO LEAVE CHINA IN APRIL AND MAY.
THEY WERE ALL PART OF AN
ORGANIZATION KNOWN AS CHINA LABOR WATCH WHICH IS BASED IN
NEW YORK.
THEY WERE IN CHINA DO IN THIS INVESTIGATION IN ORDER
TO GET THIS ORGANIZATION IN NEW YORK ESSENTIALLY INFORMATION
ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THESE FACTORIES AND APPARENTLY
AUTHORITIES IN CHINA CAN'T TO THEM AND AS A RESULT THERE WERE
SOME RAMIFICATIONS FIRST IN THE FORM OF ESSENTIALLY A TRAVEL BAN
AND NOW THEY BEEN DETAINED.
THEIR INITIAL REPORT ALLEGED
THAT EMPLOYEES ARE WORKED AT LEAST 12 1/2 HOURS A DAY AND AT
LEAST SIX DAYS A WEEK AT A MONTHLY SALARY OF ABOUT $365.
IS THAT PAPER SOME WORKERS AMOUNTED THE EQUIVALENT OF LESS
THAN A DOLLAR AN HOUR.
THOSE ARE AVERAGES.
THERE WERE DAYS
WHEN SOME OF THE WORKERS WERE THERE FOR OVER 18 HOURS.
WORKING 18 HOURS STRAIGHT SO THERE ARE SOME HUMAN RIGHTS
ABUSES THEIR AND THIS IS ALL SOMETHING THAT WAS IMPORTANT FOR
THEIR INVESTIGATION AND ALSO, KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS ONE OF
THE FACTORIES THAT MAKES SHOES FOR A BUNKER TRUMPS BRAND SO
THERE'S THE POLITICAL COMPONENT TO IT AS WELL.
MY GUESS IS THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT
THESE GUYS EXPOSING THE WORKING CONDITIONS OVER ALL.
BUT, THE
FACT THAT IT IS GOING TO EMBARRASS THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES TO AT THIS POINT IS DOING A LOT OF FAVORS FOR
CHINA.
REMEMBER DURING THE CAMPAIGN DONALD TRUMP TALK TO
BIG GAME ABOUT HOW HE WAS IN A CRACKDOWN ON CHINA AND INTO
THEIR CURRENCY MANIPULATION AND HE THREATENED TARIFFS, ETC.
THEN
HE MET WITH THE CHINESE LEADER AND SAID I DIDN'T KNOW THE
SITUATION WAS COMPLICATED AND IT TURNS OUT WE NEED CHINAS HELP
WITH NORTH KOREA.
ANYONE WHO STUDIES THIS AND IF YOU'RE
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, I WOULD'VE HOPED YOU DECIDED IT
OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T, KNOWS THAT ACCORSI NEED CHINAS HEALTH AND
NORTH KOREA AND OF COURSE IS NOT EASY TO DO UNILATERAL TARIFFS
ARE CRACKED DOWN ON CURRENCY MANIPULATION.
THERE IS GOING TO
BE RAMIFICATIONS AND CONSEQUENCES BUT DONALD TRUMP IS
A CHILD AND DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT SO NOW, BY THE WAY, JARED
KUSHNER THEN WENT ON TO TRY TO DO A $4 BILLION DEAL WITH A
COMPANY RELATED TO THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT.
THEY GOT SO MUCH
BLOWBACK ON THAT THAT THE CHINESE COMPANY HAD TO STEP BACK
FROM THE DEAL BUT IT WAS GOING TO GIVE SEVERAL HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS MORE TO THE KUSHNER FAMILY THEN THOSE PROPERTIES ARE
ESTIMATED TO BE WORKING HE WERE THE NEW YORK.
THAT IS A GIANT
PAYOFF TO THE TRUMP FAMILY, SO NOW WITHIN THAT CONTEXT, WHEN
YOU SEE SOMEONE WHO'S GOING TO INVESTIGATE A BUNKER TRUMPS THE
BRANDS IN CHINA AND OLSON THEY DISAPPEAR, WELL, THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT THEN SHOULD BE UNDER MORE SCRUTINY, NOT LESS.
THAT IS RIGHT.
AND ALSO, KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE WERE
INTERNAL MEMOS IN REGARD TO THE FACT THAT YOU BUNKER TRUMP HAD
HIRED THIS FACTORY TO PRODUCE SOME OF HER PRODUCTS AND THAT
YOU KNOW, MAYBE THESE INVESTIGATIONS ARE SO GREAT IN
TERMS OF OPTICS.
LET ME GIVE YOU THE DETAILS ON THAT.
THIS
IS BASED ON THE REPORTING OF SIMON DINNER FROM THE WASHINGTON
POST.
HE WRITES THE GLOBAL TIME CITED STAFF MEMBERS INTO
FACTORIES OR SAYING THE COMPANIES HAD RECEIVED A MEMO
FROM A IVANKA TRUMP'S CHINA-BASED AGENT SEARCH SHORTLY
AFTER THE US DEPARTMENT STORE NORDSTROM DROPPED HER PRODUCT IN
FEBRUARY NOTIFYING THEM THAT ANY MEDIA RAPPORT ON HER SUPPLIERS
IN CHINA WOULD NOT BE GOOD FOR HER IMAGE FOR POLITICAL REASONS.
THEY WERE ESSENTIALLY WARNED.
NO BAD PRESS FOR A BUNKERAND LOOK,
BY THE WAY, IT'S SUPER IRRESPONSIBLE TO SPECULATE AND I
HOPE NO ONE THINKS WE'RE SPECULATING.
I JUST LOOKS VERY
QUESTIONABLE CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT ONE OF THE
INVESTIGATORS FOR SURE HAS BEEN DETAINED AND THEN TWO OF
THEM ARE JUST MISSING.
THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM AND THERE
IS THEIR ASSUMPTION THEY BEEN DETAINED BUT WAS STILL NO
CONFIRMATION ON THAT.
I WANT TO BE CLEAR WHEN WE SAY DON'T SPECULATE.
SOME
PEOPLE MIGHT START ASSUMING THAT THEIR DEBTOR SOMETHING OR THAT
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT KILLED THEM.
NOTE THAT ALL WE KNOW IS
ONE IS DICTATED TO HER MISSING.
WE DO KNOW THAT THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT HAS A LOT OF INCENTIVE TO MAKE SURE THAT A
BUNKER TRUMPS BRAND STAYS CLEAN BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN FANTASTIC TO CHINA SO FAR.
THEY
HAVE NOT TOUCHED THEM AT ALL AND SO FAR GIVEN THEM EVERYTHING
THEY WANT ON FIVE TRUMP SAID AFTER MEETING WITH THE CHINESE
LEADER THAT THE CHINESE LEADER TAUGHT HIM ABOUT NORTH KOREA AND
NOW HE UNDERSTANDS THE SITUATION MORE.
THAT IS A CHINESE
PERSPECTIVE.
YOU SHOULDN'T TAKE THAT AT FACE VALUE.
YOU SHOULD
LISTEN TO OUR INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS BUT YOU KNOW
TRUMP IS, SO SO FAR CHINA IS VERY HAPPY AND WANTS TO
KEEP GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
WE WILL SEE IF THAT WINDS UP BEING PART OF THE REASON
THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE MISSING.
