"On October 19, 2007, the L.A. Times broke the NYC Chinatown donations story. The reporters noted that Clinton's success in raising money from "dishwashers, waiters and street stall hawkers" is due, in part, to a strategy of forming "mutually beneficial alliances with powerful groups."

The L.A. Times stated that "Clinton has enlisted the aid of Chinese neighborhood associations, especially those representing recent immigrants from Fujian province. The organizations, at least one of which is a descendant of Chinatown criminal enterprises that engaged in gambling and human trafficking, exert enormous influence over immigrants." Link

Chinese Deny .... "Any clear-sighted person can see that this is a vicious slander against China," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said.

This is the Picture of Chinese Child Slavery; children forced to make fireworks for export; 

"In March 2001, 42 people  most of them third and fourth graders   lost their lives in an explosion at a school. Why did the school blow up? Because the Chinese government uses young students to make fireworks. That's how the Chinese keep the prices so low. The younger students are required to assemble at least 1,000 fireworks a day. The older children -fifth-graders- are required to make 10 times that many." (lost link)
