The Chinese Embassy issued a warning for its citizens on Sunday in Bangladesh. It advises Chinese citizens living in Bangladesh to avoid online dating and false marriage proposals. The statement said that it is also wrong to think of ‘buying foreign wife’ for marriage.
Actually, there is a lot of difference in the proportion of men and women in China. According to the 2020 census, there are about 105 men on 100 women. In the 10–14 age group, this ratio is 100 male per 100 female.
Due to this inequality, many men are not getting married in China. Many people are losing their money due to this due to the smugglers. China has issued this advisory to prevent this fraud.
5 crore people will never get married in China
According to a report, about 3 to 5 crore men will never be married in China from 2020 to 2050. Because of this, many people are trying to bring the bride from abroad. For this, they resort to smugglers. They take women and girls from poor countries like Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar, Vietnam and Cambodia to China.
Smugglers bring these women to China by pretending to be good jobs, better life, or marriage, but there are forcibly sold for marriage or sexual abuse. According to the 2019 Human Rights Watch report, smugglers have been encouraged due to low security personnel on the Myanmar-China border.
Smugglers snatch women’s papers
The smugglers call themselves married agents or jobs. They go to villages and poor areas and implicate girls. After this, they take them to China and sell them. Many men from China who are farmers or laborers are alone and come in contact with these smugglers to get the bride.
These women are sold for $ 5,000 to 20,000. These deals are in the name of ‘marriage’, but they do not have real consent.
After reaching China, the papers of these women are taken away. They are sold for 5 to 20 thousand dollars (4 lakh to 20 lakh rupees). After this, women are sent to a distant village in China.
They are married there. Many times he is raped. They are also under pressure to have forcibly produced children. If these women try to escape, the Chinese police punishes them as illegal migrants.
In Myanmar, the 112-page report titled ‘Smuggling of Kachin brides’ will let you leave: The tragic testicular testimony of 37 women who escaped from the trafficking business, along with the statements of several families of the victims have emerged.
The Chinese government is aware of this, but it has not done much to stop this problem so far. Probably because this problem is very large and it is not easy to deal with it.
