I dunno. A lot of societies are getting away with severe bonded servitude on the premise it's not as bad as the North-Atlantic slave trade.
Considering the US' effort to keep slavery going with extra steps continuing to this day and getting worse, I'm eager to hold accountable every society that tries.
I'd be okay with China freeing the slaves in America.
I'd be thrilled if the international community defined and enforced labor standards that aligned with the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights — including the rights to food and a home — which would eliminate the business practice of offshoring production to exploit unprotected labor pools.
You are curiously fixated on China. I presume you reside there?
Point being, national sovereignty doesn't outweigh wanton cruelty. It's the same argument with the Confederacy, "States' rights? States' rights to what?" No state that employs that kind of system has the right to exist. The Union defeating the Confederacy and freeing the slaves, even if it wasn't total liberation, was completely justified and made a marked improvement in countless people's lives. Yes, there is still more to be done, but the world is a better place because slavery, as an institution, was ended by force.
