Your history is a bit bung TJ> < should china interfere and 'help' zimbabwe folks decide? that way lies the victorian way, and victorians chose the slavery > The movement to abolish slavery throughout the British Empire and in general was well underway long before Queen Victoria became queen at age 18. Here is some history about her and the glorious Virtuous Victorian Values leading to the Great and Glorious British Empire of Great Britain.

This Wilberforce bloke and William Pitt had quite a bit to do with banning slavery. en.wikipedia.org

Note that around the world, slavery and even cannibalism were quite normal while the British were banning slavery. Maoris were dining on each other, and anyone else they could catch at the time.

Should China "help"? Whether they should or not is debatable, but such "help" seems a pretty good bet when the economic process has matured more and the cash flows are leaping and bounding. The "help" will no doubt be similar to the help that others provide to favoured regimes, such as supply of military and other equipment to maintain order and China's cash flow forecasts. Other forms of help will no doubt follow.
