"In the recent history of the modern world, only two nations of people have so thoroughly embraced slavery as to have practiced it on an immense scale for hundreds of years: the Christians in America and the Dalai Lamas in Tibet [stopped by Mao]."

But definitely no slavery under Mao (no genocide, no forced labor, or any other stuff like that), definitely not!
And America (as the USA nation, anyway, since "nations" is the category used) definitely had slavery, at least in some states, from 1776 to 1860--1.04 centuries, to be precise, so definitely "centuries." (Although it is hard to say whether the nation as a whole "embraced" slavery.)
And if pre-independence time is being counted here, there are certainly more than "only two nations" with a "long history of slavery" into "modern times." Just in the Americas, for instance, there is Brazil, with slavery of Africans there starting as early as 1540 and extending into the 1860's.
