This research aims to analyze the current state of human trafficking in China and its response policies. As a neighboring country to South Korea, China has been identified as a destination country for trafficked women from Korea, and there has been an increase in cases where Chinese nationals who enter South Korea through various channels such as marriage migration, labor migration, and tourism become exposed to human trafficking. In particular, labor exploitation, forced marriage, child trafficking, and sex trafficking have been highlighted as serious issues. The male preference ideology and the one-child policy in China can be identified as unique contributing factors to human trafficking in the country. In terms of response policies, China lacks a unified legislation specifically addressing human trafficking, and it has been criticized for primarily focusing on women and children as victims, which represents a limited approach. Therefore, this research seeks to identify the characteristics of human trafficking occurring in China and discuss the differences with South Korean domestic laws, ultimately aiming to present policy implications that can contribute to establishing a regional anti-trafficking network in East Asia.
