BEIJING - Police have rescued 178 abducted children following a six-month sting involving forces across 10 provinces and regions.
"All of the children have been placed safely in welfare institutes, and some sick ones are receiving treatment in hospital," Chen Shiqu, head of the Ministry of Public Security's anti-trafficking task force, told China Daily on Tuesday.
He said the youngsters are aged from one month to four years, adding that most are boys.
