Recently, the U.S. government put Hong Kong on the human trafficking watchlist.
The Hong Kong government disagreed with this decision, saying the U.S. report was unfair.
The U.S. believes that Hong Kong has not joined the United Nations' anti-human trafficking agreement and lacks specific laws to protect victims.
In recent years, some Hong Kong people were tricked into working in Southeast Asia and ended up forced to labor.
Some foreign domestic workers in Hong Kong have also been abused by their employers.
The U.S. report says that although Hong Kong has some laws to combat human trafficking, the measures to protect victims are still insufficient.
The report recommends that Hong Kong strengthen protections for foreign workers to help them avoid exploitation.
The Hong Kong government responded by saying that Hong Kong is not a center for human trafficking and that existing laws can already protect everyone.
