The US Department of State released its annual Trafficking in Persons Report
on Thursday, and downgraded China to one of the worst offenders.
The reports highlights the forced labour of Uighur people in China's restive
Xinjiang province.
There has been no response from China, which could now face sanctions.
Countries placed in the third tier of three in the report - including North
Korea, Sudan and Venezuela - can lose non-humanitarian aid. But Associated
Press reports that presidential waivers mean Tier Three countries do not
always get punished.
Afghanistan, Qatar and Malaysia were upgraded to Tier Two as they were seen
to be making efforts to crack down on the practice, and improve conditions
for those who have been trafficked. |
