One big and terrible source of income in countries like China has become more into the human trafficking. They are selling little kids boys and girls to Singgapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam, and some even being put up adoption to countries like the United States and Europe. But these kids are being kidnapped right under their parent’s noses. There are professional kidnappers in China that will steal little boys to sell them to other families there so they can have a boy. The boys will also be sold as workers and slaves if they do not get adopted. The girls being sold if they are not adopted will be sold off for prostitution and other needs like these.
There is something that needs to be done in China to stop these professional kidnappers. If China just needs to do a better job at tracking these things or what, but something needs to be done because it does not seem so hard if they really wanted to find where these children are going. There must be something this country and do to help these children in some kind of way.

Human trafficing is a very serious issue. Mostly females are imported from the Global South to Western Europe or the United States. Although there is no question about the responsibility of the Chinese government to eliminate this problem, we should also ask the question where does it come from? Without demand there is no offer. That means that if there were no people in the industrialized countries that would "buy" children or women, then these issues would not exist. So both sides need to work on it.
I think it's very sad that anyone could go through such a terrible crime such as trafficking and prostitution but especially children! I don't think children anywhere should be targets of acts they are too young to be involved in or aware of. China has a lot of underhanded issues just as other countries do, but this really does need to be handled ASAP!
