The slave scandal reported earlier is not ended yet. Many other locations also found such type of factories. Up to now, no criminals have received penalty. In one trial against those ��slave masters�� in Shanxi, the court even did not inform most victims. All evidences strongly indicate that the government officials including court and police are trying protect the criminals. No wonder the slave workers have not been rescued for years even though the situation has been reported many times.

Some slave workers were reportedly disappeared; it is believed that the factory owners together with local authority may have ��disposed�� them to hide their crimes.

One of the slave factory will not release the workers until the family pays 30,000 RMB, people may ask: where is the police? Why the criminals ask for a price to release those slave workers after the crime has been exposed? The answer is natural, police is protecting criminals rather than average people, because those criminals can pay high bribery.

The slave workers scandal has been widely reported in European countries, but little in the USA. Hopefully reporters for American media in China have not been paid extra.
