about what's happening in china. i'm pleased to say the subject on which we have a discussion today is one in which i think there has been some progress in china, and i think it is important to recognize that the chinese government, particularly the national government, recognize this is the problem, has taken some recent actions on the issue of human trafficking, and i'm pleased with that result. it has been, however, more aggressive, i think, at the national level to describe this as a problem and to begin talking about national efforts to address it than it has with respect to the local government's effective capability to enforce and to really address it at the local level this issue of human trafficking. human trafficking has long been a problem, and as i indicated, i wrote about it. in fact, what i wrote about was the issue of forced labor. let me just respond by citing a portion of the book i wrote. and i wrote about a young woman named lee, who was a woman who died. she died working. apparently not terribly u
