So, according to your figures, slaves account for 0.89% of all workers in China. That does not sound like a serious threat.

Slavery is a threat to everyone on the planet. If you are an American and you believe in individual rights, you cannot support slavery anywhere, no matter how small the percentage.

Slavery is a threat to everyone on the planet. If you are an American and you believe in individual rights, you cannot support slavery anywhere, no matter how small the percentage.

Of course. Perhaps I should have said "That does not sound like a serious economic threat."

Since I am an American who believes in individual rights, I support limited government and oppose government over-regulation of the economy. Governments should protect life, liberty, and property, but not meddle in commerce. Free trade generally results in greater freedom and greater wealth for all involved.
