busts trafficking ring, 89 children rescued"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Chinese police have rescued 89 children and arrested 355 suspects after busting a series of child trafficking rings, officials said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Officers from nine regions, including Fujian, Yunnan, Sichuan, Anhui and Guangdong, took part in a joint drive beginning December 18 against the networks, said Chen Shiqu, director of the anti-trafficking office in the public security ministry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The children are being cared for in local nursing homes and police are searching for their parents, the official Xinhua news agency reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will collect the children&#8217;s DNA and use it to find their parents within a national DNA database established for anti-trafficking purposes,&#8221; it quoted Chen as saying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trafficking of children is a serious problem in China, blamed in part on the strict &#8220;one-child&#8221; policy<\/strong>, which has put a premium on baby boys.<\/p>\n<p>Wang Xizhang, a high-level law enforcement official in Fujian province, said potentially large profits have fuelled the trade.<\/p>\n<p>A healthy male infant bought for 30,000 yuan (US$4,810) in poor provinces such as Yunnan can be sold for 70,000 to 90,000 yuan in the comparatively wealthy provinces of Fujian and Guangdong, Wang was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n<p>Since April 2009, when a ministry crackdown began, <strong>police have broken up 11,000 child trafficking rings and rescued 54,000 children, according to Chen.<\/strong><br \/>\n<!--break--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese police have rescued 89 children and arrested 355 suspects after busting a series of child trafficking
