A new State Department report aired on Capitol Hill Thursday tags China as the world's prostitution center, sending female sex slaves to every single continent while also luring girls from other countries into forced marriages.
"China remains a significant source of girls and women subjected to forced prostitution throughout the world. During the year, Chinese sex trafficking victims were reported on all of the inhabited continents," said the latest "Trafficking in Persons Report" from State.
At a House Foreign Relations Committee hearing Thursday, Rep. Chris Smith, who chairs the committee's panel that oversees international human rights, said "China has become the global magnet for sex traffickers."
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
