BEIJING, April 22 -- Chinese police have rescued 64 trafficked babies in raids on six trafficking gangs, the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) said on Wednesday.
The MPS planned the raids since the end of last year, and coordinated its local functionaries in Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces to crush the gangs. Over 170 suspects were apprehended.
Instead of trafficking babies to another province, some traffickers take pregnant women to point-of-sale and sell their newborns there, the MPS noted.
The MPS has vowed to stop such business on both supply and demand sides.
