Traffico di bambini in Cina

"The black industry of stealing children is big business in China, where desperate families are willing to pay up to £10,000 for a baby boy they can raise as their own.
As many as 70,000 Chinese children are thought to be kidnapped each year, often snatched from rural areas in the north of the country and then funnelled south to families in the provinces of Fujian and Guangdong. Last year, Chinese police managed to rescue some 6,000 of them.
Some children are sold to would-be parents, who have either failed to conceive themselves or been limited by the one-child policy. Others have ended up on the streets, being enlisted as beggars by gangs.
The latest police operation involved more than 5,000 officers spread across ten different Chinese provinces and broke up two gangs, one in Sichuan and one in Fujian.
The police said they had launched raids on November 30, arresting 608 suspects in what it called the “biggest victory yet for anti-trafficking operations”. The rescued children are being taken care of by welfare agencies, and the police gave no indication of their average age or whether they had been reunited with their families."
