China Opens Over 5,000 Free Blood Sampling Sites To Help Unite Families

China’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS) has released a list of more than 5,000 free blood sampling sites across the country on Monday.

This is with the aim to help abducted children and women reunite with their families, as China is launching a national crackdown on human trafficking crimes.

The Global Times added the move is to further facilitate timely blood sampling and testing of relevant people, including rescued children and women, those seeking lost family members, suspected abductees and unidentified persons.

The Xinhua News Agency reported that the country’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS) has been working with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other departments to launch a new round of crackdowns on human trafficking.

It has increased the number of free blood sampling sites nationwide to 5,000 from more than 3,000.

The MPS said as of March, more than 10,000 missing and abducted children have been found and reunited with their families under the Tuanyuan (Reunion) Campaign.
