Five chapters into âMade in China,â Amelia Pangâs investigation of forced labor practices in China, her main subject â a Falun Gong practitioner named Sun Yi â is tasked with making decorative paper mushrooms for export, it is rumored, to Europe.

This is where the race to the bottom bottoms out: human battery farms whose chattel often political prisoners or members of disfavored ethnicities held without trial meet “brands’ demand for lower prices, fas
