More can of course be said, but this previous thread covers several aspects of slavery in Chinese history. /u/touchme5eva discusses the origins of slavery in China; /u/Xuande88 covers the legal dimensions, particularly in the early modern period, and in a followup discusses kunlun (enslaved Africans); I myself give a brief overview of slavery among the Manchus.
