I tried this approach today, and it seemed to work.

“You know how we have people who do human trafficking? Well, apparently they are not all small mom-and-pop operations - they are run like pyramid schemes, with people up the chain getting super rich off of selling human beings, including children. They also make money when we have wars because they sell weapons and it provides cover for trafficking in children because dead people don’t report their children missing. President Trump is going after these people, and they don’t like it.”

Summary: human trafficking is not a mom-and-pop local business, stopping wars is not good for weapons dealers, and bad people make a ton of money off it.

I know China has to be explained, but I needed a start because this stuff gets complicated quickly. Thoughts?
