The U.S. State Department released its annual Trafficking in Persons Report on Tuesday morning, downgrading China to a Tier Three offender status.
The decision came, in part, because of Beijing's “not taking serious steps to end its own complicity in trafficking – including forced laborers from North Korea that are located in China,” said Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
