Got it.

No, I don't think the Chinese government does much out of the generosity of their good hearts. They are trying desperately to become a developed nation though, which means relying pretty heavily on western countries for things like trade. So whatever their ultimate goals may be, my personal guess is that things like this fit into the "prove to the West that we are good people so that they will help us" category.

The only thing that they are trying to do is to stay in power. All the slave labor trade is meant to help them maintain power. And to be able to take on the US. Pure and simple. Read the speech below.
