UK supermarket halts Christmas card supplies from China

Six-year-old finds message in a card allegedly from a Chinese prison

The British supermarket giant, Tesco, has said it's stopped buying products from one of its Chinese suppliers following allegations it used forced prison labour to pack charity Christmas cards. A message written in a Tesco card and found by a six-year-old girl in the UK said prisoners were being forced to work against their will at a Shanghai prison.
