I watched tv with my own personal Chinese translator tonight and was excited to see that the Chinese government has taken a hard line in the slavery case (see my previous blog). Kidnappers are being held in Police custody, brickworks owners are being hunted, slaves are being rescued and their stories recorded, Government officials are being punished and others are being made to do their jobs. Freed slaves are being given free hospital treatment, helped to find work and reunited with their families. The tv seems to be freely reporting it too so we know it’s serious. Let us hope for more of this kind of news from the Middle Kingdom.
