WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is poised to declare China among the world's worst offenders on human trafficking, U.S. officials said Monday, putting the world's most populous country in the same category as North Korea, Zimbabwe and Syria,

“US to say China among worst on human trafficking”

Really, you’d think after all this time the Chinese would be the best at it!

I mean the new game on the political front not on social issues.

One could not blame China for being somewhat mystified by this new categorization.

Lets just review for a moment.

The Tienanmen Square massacre took place in 1989. Tanks rolled over peaceful protesters by the hundreds.

In less than three years, China was to become the focus of an effort that would turn it into our largest trading partner by a magnitude.

Here we were as a nation rewarding one of the most despicable leaderships on the face of the planet.

Now all of a sudden we are getting weak kneed about human rights? Seriously?

This should have taken place the moment that massacre took place, not 18 year later. We should not have gifted China with half a century or more of technical know how, and the massive wealth to utilize it.

While I do think the Trump administration is probably correct here, it certainly makes our policies over the last 20 years look sick.

I said it was and would be seen for that back in the early 1990s, while others laughed and said I need to get with it.

The day of reckoning fast approaches evidently.

How about Mexico? I thought they won a gold meddle in people smuggling. Libya won silver and Turkey took bronze.

I wish Trump would also call them barbaric and uncivilized with respect to that Dog festival. If they want to be viewed as civilized by the West, then Dogs are not animals to be killed the way some of these savage Chinese do. Dogs are social domesticated animals that going back to the Roman times, the West has used for protecting crops, livestock, personal property and safety, and as great companions.

I wish Trump would call them out on that and say it is disgusting and made is young grandchildren and son Baron sick.

It makes me sick, that is for darn sure.

Of course it's odd. Trump just reversed Obama on Cuba. Cuba is a piker compared to China. China helped to kill or maim more Americans post WII than any other country in the world. Either coming over the hills in Korea or supplying and aiding the Vietnamese. Yet we kow tow to them and reward them with trade.
