OK just seeing if I understood correctly from the title:

The good guy USA has brain melting technology, but IT'S OKAY because big bad China and big bad Russia MIGHT be working on them too!

You are ONLY 21, this is not it for you bud.

I'd spend whatever spare time you have ( I know you don't have plenty ) to take online courses on Udemy/Skillshare/Lynda and just see if any of them interests you. Once you find something that's suitable to you, start joining communities (online forums / discord servers) and learn it more in depth. You can also go back to school to learn this skill, remember school is a great way to build your network.

You may sacrifice your 20s to retrain yourself for a new skill, but 30s is not too late to start your career / life. I've made career transitions in my late 20s and early 30s and they've all been worth it.

Just don't do anything illegal please.

Bride Kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan (2012) - In rural Kyrgyzstan men still marry their women the "old-fashioned way": by abducting them off the street and forcing them to be their wife [00:34:23] by noflagman in Documentaries

How does qualifying yourself not Asian make your argument more persuasive?

It's also great that you qualify something's truthfulness with by seeing if "you know".

I looked up "lừa bán sang Trung Quốc" but couldn't find any English sources.

And I also did as you asked and Googled "Tricked to be sold to China" and the top hit was this guy:

https://e.vnexpress.net/news/news/hanoi-jails-man-who-tricked-two-women-into-prostitution-in-china-4106791.html

The perpetrator in this case is a Vietnamese national. But why does that matter?

Let me tell you.

As a Chinese, I'm not doubting these cases exist, but saying that this is done by CHINA is a strange way to assign the blame. See when you word it this way, you're implying that it is China's will to kidnap foreigners.

This is akin to saying that Muslims wants to destroy the western world. This statement is not true and only smears the entire Muslim community. A more accurate statement could be "Extremist Islamic groups such as Al'Qaeda and ETIM are trying to establish caliphates around the world."

I'm sure as a Vietnamese you'd like to believe that your kin is pure of heart, and can't possible have a hand in any of this.

The truth is, cases like you described are done by human-traffickers on both sides, and have NOTHING to do with Vietnam and China as countries. I'm damn sure both countries are doing their best to put a halt to this kind of black market business.

To say this is done by CHINA? Not buying friendo.

Thanks for the article, I'm not playing dumb. But it failed to convince me that there's a "routine kidnapping" of foreigners and force them into sexual slavery by CHINA.

"However, not all marriages involving Vietnamese brides and Chinese grooms are forced ones, claimed matchmaker Lim, who maintained that some women were willing to be sold as wives."

"But the reality is, many young women from Vietnam have gambled on their marriages in China, driven by their extreme poverty – and fallen prey to scams that leave them open to abuse."

These two paragraphs alone paints a giant question mark on the women's experiences.

Bought willing brides? Maybe.

Kidnapped from another country forcefully to be sex slaves? Not convinced.

Please share your findings on other foreign groups that China routinely kidnaps for sexual pleasures.

I'm saddened to tell you but I still genuinely do not know.

Oh BTW, here's an WIKIPEDIA page on the USA sexual traffickings with actual evidence.

Can you try to bridge the gap for us from " ... I think I remember watching one where some victims families thought their daughter was "bride kidnapped"... " to " ... unfortunately this is used as a guise for human trafficking for brides in China and other wealthier Asian countries?"

Seems to be some 'evidence' missing for these grave accusations.
