Two child-trafficking gangs eliminated in China

 BEIJING, July 6 (Xinhua) -- Chinese police on Monday broke up two major child-trafficking gangs, arrested 802 suspects and freed 181 children, the Ministry¹ of Public Security (MPS) said Thursday.

Under the command of the MPS, more than 10,000 police officers took actions simultaneously², catching³ all the suspects and rescuing all the children in 15 provincial⁴ regions including Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Sichuan, Yunnan, according to an MPS statement.

Shao Zhongyuan, an A-level-wanted suspect involved in a child-trafficking gang that trafficked more than 100 children, has also been arrested in Pingyi county, Shandong province, the statement said.
