Chinas official birth limitation policy. in combination with a cultural preference for boys. has resulted in approximately 40 million women and girls missing from the populationmaking China a regional magnet for sex and bride trafficking as men who reach marrying age cannot find a mate. Just ask the Burmese. Cambodian. Vietnamese. Laotian. and North Korean women imported to meet Chinas demand. To wit. an estimated 90 percent of North Korean women seeking asylum in China have been trafficked. Yet China refuses these women refugee status and sends them back to possible execution in North Korea. Nothing in Chinas record in 2014 warrants any ranking other than Tier 3. Consider this: China convicted 35 traffickers last year in a country of 1.3 billion people.
