More forced into labor, prostitution

Forced labor and sexual exploitation have increased as the trend in human trafficking in China has taken a turn for the worst.

That is the assessment of a senior public security official who was talking on the loopholes in the country's labor system and Criminal Law yesterday.

Yin Jianzhong, a senior official of the anti-trafficking office of the Ministry of Public Security, said: "Forced labor and sexual exploitation are the two new outcomes of human trafficking in China and the number of such cases is rising."
