Human Trafficking and Gendercide in China

Disgusting ... yet somehow predictable in a place where "gendercide" is rampant.  Not, of course, that it increases respect for and appreciation of women as much as it ends up making girls more of an objectified commodity than before.  Ugh.
In another crackdown this month, police arrested 330 people suspected of involvement in the trafficking of baby girls, the newspaper said. The police operation took place across 14 provinces. 
... Women are sold to men in remote areas who are unable to find brides due to the sex imbalance resulting from China's one-child policy which has encouraged sex-selective abortions.
