  • HUMAN TRAFFICKING Findings • in Its 2019 Trafficking in Persons Report, the U.S
    HUMAN TRAFFICKING Findings • In its 2019 Trafficking in Persons Report, the U.S. State De- partment listed China as Tier III, which is a designation for governments who ‘‘do not fully meet the minimum standards [under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act] and are not making significant efforts to do so.’’ • Chinese anti-trafficking law remains inconsistent with inter- national standards in the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (Palermo Protocol), to which China is a State Party. Whereas the Palermo Protocol encompasses the exploitation of any individual, Chinese law addresses the selling of women and children, making it difficult to assess the scale of human trafficking in China as defined by international standards. • Women and girls from countries including Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, North Korea, Paki- stan, and Vietnam were trafficked into China for forced mar- riage and sexual exploitation. The demand for such trafficking is due in part to the sex ratio imbalance in China, a result of decades of government-imposed birth limits and a traditional preference for sons, as well as a lack of economic opportunity in countries of origin. • Chinese nationals were trafficked from China to other parts of the world, including the United States. Chinese sex workers were found working in illicit massage parlors across the United States. Because of their coercive nature, some of these cases may constitute human trafficking. • Continued restrictions on movement imposed by the hukou system contributed to the risks that internal migrant workers face in human trafficking. • The Chinese government continued to subject individuals to forced labor during pretrial detention and in administrative de- tention.

Duong* Introduction When we sit down to a fancy seafood1 dinner and order sizzling Thai shrimp or grilled Hawaiian swordfish, we don’t realize our meal comes with a side of slavery: it’s quite likely that foreign fishermen working in slave-like conditions caught the cheap seafood on our plates.2 Environmental destruction and forced labor are negative externalities in many fisheries worldwide, with abuses largely ignored in the pursuit of catching more fish from an emptier sea. This comment explores how global overfishing and resource exploitation have created a situation ripe for environmental and human rights abuses.
