Should the U.S. Do Business with China? Laura K Egendorf

Should the United States have relations with a country that offers few protections for workers? Why do U. S. companies do business in China under these conditions? Why do they support the Chinese government's restrictions on free speech if this is anathema to the American way? Could economic engagement push China toward democracy? This anthology interprets these and other relevant questions from conflicting perspectives. Readers will learn about the key ideas and debates regarding trade and labor policy with China. Discussions are grounded in real life events. As China becomes more a part of policy planning for the U. S., it is critical to understand our relationship to labor in this region.
