"Human trafficking is always the natural enemy of happy families, every family looking for relatives is a history of blood and tears, and the disappearance of relatives will trap the whole family in a catastrophe." Family destruction is a common thing, poverty is the norm, too many families are completely subverted, such pain is very human to bear. On March 2, Zhang Baoyan, a deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of the "Baby Homecoming" Volunteer Association, told Health Times.
With the two sessions of the National People's Congress about to be convened in 2022, a number of NPC deputies and CPPCC members have publicly stated that it is recommended to increase the criminal responsibility for the crime of abducting, selling and buying women and children, and buying and selling the same crime.

Zhang Baoyan, a deputy to the National People's Congress, told The Health Times that this year she would propose in the bill to increase the sentencing standards for criminals who buy and sell women and children. Deputy Zhang Baoyan said that the act of abducting and trafficking women and children is actually a kidnapping operation, but at the same time there are various crimes associated with abuse, illegal detention, rape, etc., and at the same time, it has also caused long-term mental harm to the families of abducted women and children, so the minimum reference to the crime of kidnapping should be at least ten years, because the infringement on the victim has occurred in the buyer's home for a long time, so the buyer's sentence should not be lower than the crime of abduction and trafficking, and should be heavier than the sentence for the crime of abduction and trafficking.
According to China Women's Daily, Fan Yun, a deputy to the National People's Congress and vice chairman of the Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce, will also submit a bill to "focus on the abduction and trafficking of women and children" during the two sessions of the National People's Congress this year. Fan Yun said that the issue of abduction and trafficking of women and children has been concerned over the years, but how to completely eradicate these stubborn diseases from the law requires the National People's Congress to revise the law. Fan Yun suggested that the criminal responsibility for the crime of abducting, selling, and buying women and children be increased, and the crime of buying and selling should be increased, so as to enhance the deterrent power of the law.
Pan Xiangli, a deputy to the National People's Congress and vice chairman of the Shanghai Writers Association, said that this year she will also submit a motion on amending the crime of abducting and trafficking in women and children in the Criminal Law, suggesting that article 240 of the Criminal Law "the crime of abducting and trafficking women and children" and article 241 of the Criminal Law "the crime of buying and selling women and children" be merged into "the crime of abducting, selling, and buying women and children", and that buying and selling is the same crime, with a view to minimizing the occurrence of the crime of abducting and selling women and children. The bill proposes that buying human beings is by no means a misdemeanor, and that both buyers and sellers are punished for the same crime, which is a clear attitude that the law should have. Article 240 of the Criminal Law", "Crime of Abduction and Trafficking of Women and Children", and Article 241 of the Criminal Law "Crime of Buying and Selling Women and Children", should be combined into "Crime of Abduction, Sale and Purchase of Women and Children" with reference to other articles of the Criminal Law.
