// (A) torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment;

// (B) arbitrary arrest, unacknowledged detention. without charges and trial, and jailing of persons solely for the nonviolent expression of their political views; and\\

// (C) use of prison labor to produce cheap products for export to countries, including the United States, in violation of international labor treaties and United States law. \\

//(3) The Government of the People's Republic of China continues to deny Chinese citizens who have supported the prodemocracy movement and others, the right of free emigration despite having given a pledge to the Secretary of State to do so during his visit last year to China. \\
