China’s human trafficking  happens within their own country. Chinese women and children are trafficked from Malaysia, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Europe, Canada, Japan, Italy, Burma, Singapore, South Africa, and Taiwan. Many Chinese are recruited by false promises of employment and are later threatened into prostitution or forced labor. Children are sometimes recruited by traffickers who promise their parents that their children can send money back home. In the poorer areas of China, most trafficked women are sold as wives to old and disabled unmarried men.   In richer areas, most trafficked women are sold to commercial sex businesses, hair salons, massage parlors and bathhouses. Chinese children were also kidnapped and sold for adoption.  Causes: victims have lack of education and awareness.
